THE BEAT

One bar, and 12% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 42-45, 66-69 and 99-106, and 1 more place -- 11.8% 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 Gentleman Kill?

225 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 Gentleman Kill hard to play on drums?

61 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 55 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

185 bars, about 3:18 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 73 exercises over 20 sittings, about 27 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, 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 Gentleman Kill?

16 fills to learn, played 26 times: bars 1, 9, 19, 20, 21, 24 and 20 more.
