THE BEAT

One bar, and 12% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 103-109, 129-135 and 137-142 -- 12.2% 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 Jegama?

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

Is Jegama hard to play on drums?

80 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 73 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

171 bars, about 2:53 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 67 exercises over 22 sittings, about 24 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 Jegama?

13 fills to learn, played 19 times: bars 12, 16, 24, 32, 44, 48 and 13 more.
