THE BEAT

One bar, and 13% of the song

The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 64-70 and 72-78 -- 13% 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 IN DYING DAYS?

153 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second 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 IN DYING DAYS hard to play on drums?

84 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 47 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

110 bars, about 2:50 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 62 exercises over 21 sittings, about 25 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, 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 IN DYING DAYS?

23 fills to learn, played 36 times: bars 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 17 and 30 more.
