THE BEAT

One bar, and 20% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 29-35, 37-43 and 104-110, and 1 more place -- 20.4% 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 Interdimensional Summit?

140 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 Interdimensional Summit hard to play on drums?

64 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 75 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

153 bars, about 4:37 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 52 exercises over 13 sittings, about 27 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 Interdimensional Summit?

14 fills to learn, played 20 times: bars 3, 7, 11, 19, 23, 28 and 14 more.
