THE BEAT

One bar, and 20% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 9-10, 13-14 and 17-18, and 7 more places -- 19.6% 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 Far Behind?

90 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 Far Behind hard to play on drums?

63 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 34 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

109 bars, about 4:51 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 31 exercises over 9 sittings, about 26 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, 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 Far Behind?

10 fills to learn, played 34 times: bars 8, 28, 31, 32, 35, 36 and 28 more.
