The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 23-25, 27-28 and 59-61, and 4 more places -- 16.9% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.
It is played on crash, snare, high tom, mid tom and kick, counted in thirty-second notes. On its own it scores 42 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- and the thing that decides that is how fine the subdivision is.
The whole song is 81 out of 100, so the beat is not the hard part: what costs you is everything around it, the joins and the fills.
A part this hard is not learned by playing it slowly and hoping. The room opens it on its simplest reduction -- the timekeeper alone, at 78 BPM -- and adds the notes back over 3 rungs, each with a tempo to reach and a gate to pass before the next.
Tempo goes 78, 91 and 104 BPM, and the gate at each one is 8 loops in a row with no wrong note and no wobble in the time.
PRACTISE THIS BEAT →A one-bar groove on crash, snare, high tom, mid tom and kick, in 4/4 at 104 BPM, counted in thirty-second notes. It is written out above, and it covers 16.9% of the bars the kit plays.
Bars 23-25, 27-28, 59-61 and 63-65, and 3 more places. The time is kept on the kick and crashes to start with, and it changes 17 times over the song.
42 out of 100 on its own -- a fair first song. The song as a whole is 81 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is the independence between the hands and the feet.
