THE BEAT

One bar, and 10% of the song

The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 11, 15 and 19, and 7 more places -- 9.7% 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 Dangerous?

158 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth notes. At that speed the sixteenth notes are the whole difficulty, so the room will take it down to a quarter of it and climb back.

Is Dangerous hard to play on drums?

64 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 41 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

170 bars, about 4:17 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 57 exercises over 16 sittings, about 28 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot. That is most of a full kit; the part moves around it rather than sitting in one place.

How many fills are in Dangerous?

21 fills to learn, played 60 times: bars 9, 16, 20, 21, 24, 26 and 54 more.
