THE BEAT

One bar, and 20% of the song

The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 44-59 -- 20% 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 gaybandnumber?

166 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 gaybandnumber hard to play on drums?

52 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 35 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

70 bars, about 1:27 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 20 exercises over 5 sittings, about 29 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, 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 gaybandnumber?

3 fills to learn, played 7 times: bars 1, 5, 7, 17, 19, 71 and 1 more.
