THE BEAT

One bar, and 21% of the song

The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 33-39, 41-48 and 85-87, and 1 more place -- 20.8% 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 H?

200 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 H hard to play on drums?

53 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?

135 bars, about 2:42 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 31 exercises over 9 sittings, about 24 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, 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 H?

6 fills to learn, played 10 times: bars 24, 32, 40, 69, 72, 77 and 4 more.
