THE BEAT

One bar, and 16% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 3-6, 11-14 and 66-69, and 2 more places -- 16.1% 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 going down?

185 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 going down hard to play on drums?

54 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 43 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

96 bars, about 2:07 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 39 exercises over 11 sittings, about 25 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 going down?

9 fills to learn, played 24 times: bars 1, 2, 10, 30, 36, 37 and 18 more.
