THE BEAT

One bar, and 21% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 25-27, 29-31 and 47, and 5 more places -- 20.5% 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 Hysteria?

93 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 Hysteria hard to play on drums?

68 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 65 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

87 bars, about 3:45 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 34 exercises over 9 sittings, about 28 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 Hysteria?

9 fills to learn, played 27 times: bars 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32 and 21 more.
