THE BEAT

One bar, and 11% of the song

The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 100, 103-105 and 107-109, and 11 more places -- 11.3% 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 Guilty After All?

208 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 Guilty After All hard to play on drums?

56 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 46 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

391 bars, about 7:50 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 98 exercises over 27 sittings, about 26 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 Guilty After All?

19 fills to learn, played 57 times: bars 1, 2, 27, 31, 35, 38 and 51 more.
