THE BEAT

One bar, and 17% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 17-24, 51-53 and 55-57, and 3 more places -- 16.5% 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 Indonesia?

200 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second notes. At that speed the thirty-second notes are the whole difficulty, so the room will take it down to a quarter of it and climb back.

Is Indonesia hard to play on drums?

83 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 85 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

159 bars, about 3:11 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 58 exercises over 19 sittings, about 26 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, 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 Indonesia?

12 fills to learn, played 21 times: bars 5, 7, 8, 25, 26, 33 and 15 more.
