THE BEAT

One bar, and 18% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 10-17 and 34-48 -- 18.4% 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 Jeremy?

90 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 Jeremy hard to play on drums?

60 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 30 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

130 bars, about 5:45 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 36 exercises over 9 sittings, about 28 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 Jeremy?

10 fills to learn, played 26 times: bars 6, 7, 8, 9, 25, 29 and 20 more.
