THE BEAT

One bar, and 17% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 48-50, 52-53 and 56-63, and 4 more places -- 17.2% 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 End Of The Line?

190 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 End Of The Line hard to play on drums?

61 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 42 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

202 bars, about 4:08 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 50 exercises over 15 sittings, about 27 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, hi-hat, snare, 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 End Of The Line?

8 fills to learn, played 26 times: bars 10, 11, 12, 13, 21, 29 and 20 more.
