THE BEAT

One bar, and 21% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 26-30, 33-38 and 41-43, and 4 more places -- 21.1% 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 hayloft?

190 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 hayloft hard to play on drums?

49 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?

146 bars, about 3:04 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 32 exercises over 10 sittings, about 24 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, hi-hat, snare, mid 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 hayloft?

3 fills to learn, played 9 times: bars 16, 24, 80, 88, 112, 120 and 3 more.
