THE BEAT

One bar, and 19% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 15, 17 and 19, and 6 more places -- 18.9% 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 Evil Eyes?

103 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 Evil Eyes hard to play on drums?

75 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 35 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

98 bars, about 3:48 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 41 exercises over 13 sittings, about 25 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, 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 Evil Eyes?

11 fills to learn, played 20 times: bars 4, 6, 14, 21, 22, 26 and 14 more.
