THE BEAT

One bar, and 11% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 45-48, 50-56 and 78-84, and 1 more place -- 11.3% 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 Eventide?

200 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 Eventide hard to play on drums?

89 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 74 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

204 bars, about 3:37 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 75 exercises over 26 sittings, about 26 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, 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 Eventide?

13 fills to learn, played 62 times: bars 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20 and 56 more.
