THE BEAT

One bar, and 12% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 10-12, 14-16 and 62-64, and 7 more places -- 11.5% 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 Gemilang?

159 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 Gemilang hard to play on drums?

50 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 37 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

198 bars, about 4:56 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 65 exercises over 15 sittings, about 29 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, 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 Gemilang?

11 fills to learn, played 23 times: bars 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 42 and 17 more.
