THE BEAT

One bar, and 11% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 53-55, 57-59 and 61-63, and 3 more places -- 11.1% 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 Etterath?

60 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second notes. Slow enough to hear every mistake, which is why the room lets you sit at the written tempo rather than under it.

Is Etterath 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 28 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

165 bars, about 11:00 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 63 exercises over 17 sittings, about 25 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 Etterath?

17 fills to learn, played 36 times: bars 7, 22, 25, 39, 40, 42 and 30 more.
