The beat

The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 25-29 and 31 -- 8% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

What the course does

It cuts the song into 21 exercises -- the grooves, the fills, and the joins between sections, which is where players actually come off -- and puts them in the order a teacher would. Each one opens on a reduction you can already play and adds the notes back a rung at a time, with a tempo to reach and a gate to pass before the next.

Questions

What BPM is GOAT?

107 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second 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 GOAT hard to play on drums?

73 out of 100: demanding, mostly on how much of it falls off the beat. The beat itself is 45 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

89 bars, about 3:20 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 21 exercises over 7 sittings, about 25 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 GOAT?

9 fills to learn, played 17 times: bars 24, 32, 34, 50, 56, 68 and 11 more.
