THE BEAT

One bar, and 20% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 10-16, 18-20 and 23-24, and 3 more places -- 20% 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 I Am Mine?

82 BPM, in 3/4, 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 I Am Mine hard to play on drums?

67 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 46 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

94 bars, about 3:27 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 42 exercises over 11 sittings, about 28 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, 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 I Am Mine?

11 fills to learn, played 26 times: bars 9, 28, 34, 36, 41, 52 and 20 more.
