THE BEAT

One bar, and 10% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 109-111, 113-115 and 117-123 -- 9.6% 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 Doomtech?

204 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 Doomtech hard to play on drums?

42 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with the independence between the hands and the feet the part that decides it. The beat itself is 33 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

166 bars, about 3:45 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 52 exercises over 15 sittings, about 25 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 Doomtech?

18 fills to learn, played 39 times: bars 16, 18, 20, 29, 30, 31 and 33 more.
