THE BEAT

One bar, and 23% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 30-36, 59 and 61-64, and 1 more place -- 22.8% 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 Hoy?

98 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 Hoy hard to play on drums?

54 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 50 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

82 bars, about 3:21 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 30 exercises over 8 sittings, about 25 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 Hoy?

3 fills to learn, played 6 times: bars 37, 45, 49, 53, 54 and 55.
