THE BEAT

One bar, and 16% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 42-48, 50 and 52, and 14 more places -- 16.4% 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 Harukaze?

165 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 Harukaze hard to play on drums?

57 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 57 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

184 bars, about 4:27 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 60 exercises over 18 sittings, about 24 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high 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 Harukaze?

14 fills to learn, played 41 times: bars 1, 8, 9, 17, 25, 33 and 35 more.
