THE BEAT

One bar, and 18% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 25-31, 33-39 and 81-87, and 5 more places -- 17.5% 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 Fatal Omission?

212 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth notes. At that speed the sixteenth notes are the whole difficulty, so the room will take it down to a quarter of it and climb back.

Is Fatal Omission hard to play on drums?

62 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 43 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

220 bars, about 4:09 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 69 exercises over 17 sittings, about 27 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 Fatal Omission?

26 fills to learn, played 46 times: bars 4, 8, 24, 32, 40, 44 and 40 more.
