The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 5-10, 13-34 and 36, and 14 more places -- 22.8% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.
It is played on crash, ride and snare, counted in sixteenth notes. On its own it scores 0 out of 100 -- straightforward -- and the thing that decides that is how often it moves around the kit.
The whole song is 43 out of 100, so the beat is not the hard part: what costs you is everything around it, the joins and the fills.
The room opens this beat on its simplest reduction, at 65 BPM, and adds the notes back a rung at a time -- 3 of them. Nothing is a matter of opinion: each rung has a tempo to reach and a gate to pass before the next one.
Tempo goes 65, 75 and 86 BPM, and the gate at each one is 8 loops in a row with no wrong note and no wobble in the time.
PRACTISE THIS BEAT →A one-bar groove on crash, ride and snare, in 4/4 at 86 BPM, counted in sixteenth notes. It is written out above, and it covers 22.8% of the bars the kit plays.
Bars 5-10, 13-34, 36 and 38, and 13 more places. The time is kept on the silence to start with, and it changes 5 times over the song.
0 out of 100 on its own -- straightforward. The song as a whole is 43 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with the independence between the hands and the feet the part that decides it.
