THE BEAT

One bar, and 22% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 42-48, 50-56 and 58-64, and 4 more places -- 22% 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 HEARTORK cover?

170 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 HEARTORK cover hard to play on drums?

75 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 41 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

210 bars, about 4:56 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 58 exercises over 18 sittings, about 25 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 HEARTORK cover?

9 fills to learn, played 13 times: bars 17, 33, 41, 65, 73, 97 and 7 more.
