THE BEAT

One bar, and 18% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 3, 5 and 7, and 6 more places -- 18% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

Questions

What BPM is Crimson And Clover?

75 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second notes. Slow enough to hear every mistake, which is why the room lets you sit at the written tempo rather than under it.

Is Crimson And Clover hard to play on drums?

35 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with the independence between the hands and the feet the part that decides it. The beat itself is 0 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

62 bars, about 3:17 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 20 exercises over 5 sittings, about 28 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, snare, mid tom, kick and hi-hat foot. Nothing in the part asks for anything else.

How many fills are in Crimson And Clover?

1 fill to learn, played 1 time: bar 39.
