THE BEAT

One bar, and 20% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 65-67, 69-71 and 74-75, and 5 more places -- 20% 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 Der Füsilier II?

160 BPM, in 3/4, 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 Der Füsilier II hard to play on drums?

68 out of 100: demanding, mostly on how much of it falls off the beat. The beat itself is 53 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

139 bars, about 2:48 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 41 exercises over 12 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 Der Füsilier II?

17 fills to learn, played 29 times: bars 16, 24, 32, 40, 44, 50 and 23 more.
