THE BEAT

One bar, and 22% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 5-19, 29-31 and 33-35 -- 21.6% 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 Garden?

78 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 Garden 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 21 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

103 bars, about 5:20 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 35 exercises over 10 sittings, about 27 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid 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 Garden?

8 fills to learn, played 21 times: bars 20, 36, 44, 51, 54, 55 and 15 more.
