THE BEAT

One bar, and 18% of the song

The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 28-34, 62-68 and 100-104, and 1 more place -- 18% 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 Hawaiienne?

188 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 Hawaiienne hard to play on drums?

59 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 44 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

112 bars, about 2:23 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 44 exercises over 11 sittings, about 28 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 Hawaiienne?

11 fills to learn, played 21 times: bars 27, 35, 42, 43, 44, 45 and 15 more.
