THE BEAT

One bar, and 9% of the song

The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 9-10, 13-14 and 28-29, and 1 more place -- 8.6% 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 Holy Hell?

105 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 Holy Hell hard to play on drums?

68 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 66 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

105 bars, about 4:00 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 43 exercises over 14 sittings, about 26 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, 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 Holy Hell?

9 fills to learn, played 15 times: bars 12, 31, 44, 45, 52, 54 and 9 more.
