THE BEAT

One bar, and 22% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 5-12, 14-16 and 22-28, and 4 more places -- 21.6% 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 I Love You?

115 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 I Love You hard to play on drums?

40 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with the independence between the hands and the feet the part that decides it. The beat itself is 36 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

121 bars, about 4:13 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 28 exercises over 7 sittings, about 28 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, 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 Love You?

1 fill to learn, played 1 time: bar 56.
