THE BEAT

One bar, and 14% of the song

The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 31-34, 37-40 and 83-88, and 3 more places -- 14.1% 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 Daylight?

190 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 Daylight hard to play on drums?

54 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 44 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

173 bars, about 3:39 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 74 exercises over 23 sittings, about 25 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

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

How many fills are in Daylight?

16 fills to learn, played 31 times: bars 8, 14, 16, 46, 47, 48 and 25 more.
