THE BEAT

One bar, and 30% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 11-31, 44-61 and 117-126, and 1 more place -- 30.2% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

Questions

What BPM is Emblas Saga?

120 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 Emblas Saga hard to play on drums?

67 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 55 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

199 bars, about 6:38 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 60 exercises over 19 sittings, about 25 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, 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 Emblas Saga?

11 fills to learn, played 18 times: bars 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 12 more.
