THE BEAT

One bar, and 25% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 23-29, 51-57 and 59-63, and 1 more place -- 24.5% 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 Golden?

116 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 Golden hard to play on drums?

55 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 28 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

102 bars, about 3:31 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 37 exercises over 10 sittings, about 28 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, hi-hat, snare, 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 Golden?

11 fills to learn, played 18 times: bars 6, 18, 19, 30, 33, 34 and 12 more.
