THE BEAT

One bar, and 12% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 20-26, 29-32 and 34 -- 12.4% 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 Jetpack?

120 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 Jetpack hard to play on drums?

47 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 27 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

111 bars, about 4:08 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 47 exercises over 13 sittings, about 26 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, 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 Jetpack?

16 fills to learn, played 31 times: bars 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 25 more.
