THE BEAT

One bar, and 30% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 11-25, 27-29 and 40-50, and 1 more place -- 30.2% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

Questions

What BPM is Gasoline?

82 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 Gasoline hard to play on drums?

68 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 47 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

108 bars, about 5:13 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 32 exercises over 11 sittings, about 24 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 Gasoline?

7 fills to learn, played 16 times: bars 9, 10, 26, 30, 38, 39 and 10 more.
