THE BEAT

One bar, and 22% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 25-31, 35-36 and 39, and 5 more places -- 21.5% 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 Hooch?

196 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 Hooch hard to play on drums?

66 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 36 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

117 bars, about 2:35 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 39 exercises over 10 sittings, about 30 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, 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 Hooch?

9 fills to learn, played 14 times: bars 8, 12, 16, 24, 32, 40 and 8 more.
