THE BEAT

One bar, and 16% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 30-32, 34-36 and 53, and 4 more places -- 16% 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 Jet City Woman?

109 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 Jet City Woman 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 46 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

145 bars, about 5:19 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 46 exercises over 15 sittings, about 25 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 Jet City Woman?

2 fills to learn, played 5 times: bars 74, 142, 143, 144 and 145.
