THE BEAT

One bar, and 20% of the song

The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 17-19, 21-22 and 38-40, and 3 more places -- 19.5% 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 Decadence?

92 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth notes. The room plays it at any tempo from a quarter of that up to the written one, against the record where the record can follow.

Is Decadence hard to play on drums?

72 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 55 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

77 bars, about 3:21 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 36 exercises over 13 sittings, about 24 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 Decadence?

6 fills to learn, played 13 times: bars 16, 24, 25, 36, 37, 45 and 7 more.
