THE BEAT

One bar, and 8% of the song

The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 75, 79 and 83-90 -- 8.1% 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 disposable care?

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

Is disposable care hard to play on drums?

45 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 46 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

144 bars, about 3:23 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 62 exercises over 16 sittings, about 28 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, hi-hat, snare, 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 disposable care?

18 fills to learn, played 33 times: bars 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16 and 27 more.
