One bar, and 19% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 13, 15 and 17, and 9 more places -- 18.8% 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 Elle S'ennuie?

99 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 Elle S'ennuie hard to play on drums?

48 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 25 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

83 bars, about 3:21 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 33 exercises over 10 sittings, about 25 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, 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 Elle S'ennuie?

4 fills to learn, played 9 times: bars 4, 8, 20, 32, 44, 56 and 3 more.
