THE BEAT

One bar, and 23% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 9-11, 13-15 and 41-43, and 9 more places -- 23.1% 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 Feel Alive?

146 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 Feel Alive hard to play on drums?

64 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 30 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

125 bars, about 3:25 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 44 exercises over 12 sittings, about 28 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, 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 Feel Alive?

14 fills to learn, played 35 times: bars 8, 24, 26, 27, 28, 30 and 29 more.
