THE BEAT

One bar, and 24% of the song

The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 20-34, 60-66 and 68-74 -- 24.2% 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 Forget Me Too?

160 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 Forget Me Too hard to play on drums?

59 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 38 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

132 bars, about 3:18 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 34 exercises over 9 sittings, about 28 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 Forget Me Too?

5 fills to learn, played 11 times: bars 51, 82, 83, 91, 113, 114 and 5 more.
