THE BEAT

One bar, and 16% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 2-8, 26-28 and 30-31 -- 16.2% 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 Fallen?

101 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth 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 Fallen hard to play on drums?

53 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 41 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

81 bars, about 3:11 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 35 exercises over 9 sittings, about 26 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, 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 Fallen?

9 fills to learn, played 15 times: bars 17, 25, 29, 41, 48, 49 and 9 more.
