THE BEAT

One bar, and 15% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 35-43, 85-87 and 121-127 -- 15.2% 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 HELLOHELL?

155 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second notes. At that speed the thirty-second notes are the whole difficulty, so the room will take it down to a quarter of it and climb back.

Is HELLOHELL hard to play on drums?

60 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 51 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

150 bars, about 3:52 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 49 exercises over 15 sittings, about 25 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, hi-hat, snare, mid tom, floor tom and kick. That is most of a full kit; the part moves around it rather than sitting in one place.

How many fills are in HELLOHELL?

6 fills to learn, played 16 times: bars 5, 7, 88, 93, 94, 95 and 10 more.
