THE BEAT

One bar, and 13% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 7-12, 27-28 and 43-44, and 5 more places -- 13% 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 Ducter?

135 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second 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 Ducter hard to play on drums?

63 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how fine the subdivision is. The beat itself is 60 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

190 bars, about 5:34 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 50 exercises over 17 sittings, about 24 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 Ducter?

5 fills to learn, played 14 times: bars 107, 108, 109, 110, 134, 142 and 8 more.
