THE BEAT

One bar, and 18% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 45-47, 49-51 and 90-92, and 3 more places -- 18% 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 Glass Hearts?

130 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 Glass Hearts hard to play on drums?

47 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?

105 bars, about 3:13 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 37 exercises over 10 sittings, about 26 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 Glass Hearts?

9 fills to learn, played 16 times: bars 16, 20, 28, 32, 38, 40 and 10 more.
