THE BEAT

One bar, and 4% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 100-101 and 104-105 -- 3.8% 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 Invisible Enemy?

145 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 Invisible Enemy hard to play on drums?

61 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 61 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

138 bars, about 4:29 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 20 exercises over 10 sittings, about 25 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot. That is most of a full kit; the part moves around it rather than sitting in one place.

How many fills are in Invisible Enemy?

5 fills to learn, played 84 times: bars 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 and 78 more.
