THE BEAT

One bar, and 12% of the song

The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 10-17, 50 and 52, and 2 more places -- 11.7% 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 Hide Away?

140 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth 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 Hide Away hard to play on drums?

61 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 41 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

103 bars, about 2:57 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 45 exercises over 16 sittings, about 23 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, hi-hat, snare, high tom, 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 Hide Away?

3 fills to learn, played 6 times: bars 21, 41, 85, 86, 94 and 95.
