THE BEAT

One bar, and 7% of the song

The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 11-13, 16 and 47-49 -- 7.1% 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 Eye Of God?

120 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 Eye Of God hard to play on drums?

80 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 62 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

100 bars, about 3:22 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 47 exercises over 18 sittings, about 23 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, 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 Eye Of God?

12 fills to learn, played 44 times: bars 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 38 more.
