THE BEAT

One bar, and 28% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 2-16, 64-71 and 103-109 -- 27.5% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

Questions

What BPM is DESTROYA?

100 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 DESTROYA hard to play on drums?

70 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 18 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

109 bars, about 4:22 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 44 exercises over 13 sittings, about 26 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 DESTROYA?

15 fills to learn, played 37 times: bars 21, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27 and 31 more.
