THE BEAT

One bar, and 4% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 17-18, 22-23 and 27-28, and 3 more places -- 4% 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 Hideously Disembodied?

250 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 Hideously Disembodied hard to play on drums?

86 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 64 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

281 bars, about 4:21 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 122 exercises over 44 sittings, about 24 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 Hideously Disembodied?

28 fills to learn, played 58 times: bars 9, 35, 43, 44, 58, 66 and 52 more.
