THE BEAT

One bar, and 19% of the song

The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 3, 5-8 and 13-15 -- 19% 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 hey?

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 hey hard to play on drums?

84 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is 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?

42 bars, about 0:53 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 16 exercises over 6 sittings, about 25 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid 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 hey?

7 fills to learn, played 21 times: bars 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 9 and 15 more.
