THE BEAT

One bar, and 31% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 29-31, 33-34 and 54, and 8 more places -- 31% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

Questions

What BPM is Jenny?

102 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 Jenny hard to play on drums?

59 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 34 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

100 bars, about 3:55 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 32 exercises over 9 sittings, about 26 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, 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 Jenny?

9 fills to learn, played 21 times: bars 25, 26, 27, 28, 32, 43 and 15 more.
