THE BEAT

One bar, and 12% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 36-41, 85-89 and 135-140, and 2 more places -- 12% 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 Event Horizon?

180 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second notes. At that speed the thirty-second notes are the whole difficulty, so the room will take it down to a quarter of it and climb back.

Is Event Horizon hard to play on drums?

82 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 54 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

225 bars, about 5:01 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 76 exercises over 23 sittings, about 26 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, 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 Event Horizon?

17 fills to learn, played 29 times: bars 18, 20, 35, 42, 60, 62 and 23 more.
