THE BEAT

One bar, and 6% of the song

The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 7-8, 15-16 and 31-32, and 3 more places -- 5.7% 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 Hexes?

76 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second notes. The room plays it at any tempo from a quarter of that up to the written one, against the record where the record can follow.

Is Hexes hard to play on drums?

77 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 83 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

216 bars, about 11:15 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 71 exercises over 28 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 Hexes?

15 fills to learn, played 107 times: bars 2, 6, 8, 14, 16, 17 and 101 more.
