THE BEAT

One bar, and 21% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 65-95, 97-103 and 105-119, and 1 more place -- 21% 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 Finland?

170 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 Finland hard to play on drums?

43 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with the independence between the hands and the feet the part that decides it. The beat itself is 8 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

287 bars, about 6:45 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 48 exercises over 13 sittings, about 26 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, hi-hat, snare, 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 Finland?

23 fills to learn, played 51 times: bars 8, 15, 16, 23, 24, 37 and 45 more.
