THE BEAT

One bar, and 6% of the song

Questions

What BPM is Den of Thieves?

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

Is Den of Thieves hard to play on drums?

79 out of 100: demanding, mostly on how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 61 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

181 bars, about 3:43 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 90 exercises over 29 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 Den of Thieves?

21 fills to learn, played 43 times: bars 4, 6, 7, 8, 15, 16 and 37 more.
