THE BEAT

One bar, and 21% of the song

The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 9-15, 33-39 and 69-75 -- 20.8% 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 Demigod?

123 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second 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 Demigod hard to play on drums?

93 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 67 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

109 bars, about 3:34 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 48 exercises over 18 sittings, about 26 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, 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 Demigod?

17 fills to learn, played 28 times: bars 16, 18, 20, 22, 48, 50 and 22 more.
