THE BEAT

One bar, and 24% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 71-73, 75-90 and 153-155, and 6 more places -- 24% 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 Galere?

230 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 Galere hard to play on drums?

55 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 48 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

214 bars, about 3:43 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 51 exercises over 13 sittings, about 26 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, 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 Galere?

11 fills to learn, played 31 times: bars 1, 2, 13, 21, 29, 37 and 25 more.
