THE BEAT

One bar, and 19% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 90-105, 159-174 and 191-206 -- 19.1% 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 demo1?

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

Is demo1 hard to play on drums?

68 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?

250 bars, about 14:03 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 65 exercises over 19 sittings, about 26 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, 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 demo1?

13 fills to learn, played 28 times: bars 2, 4, 12, 14, 24, 28 and 22 more.
