THE BEAT

One bar, and 8% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 171-177, 179-185 and 191, and 1 more place -- 8.3% 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 Jezebel?

180 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 Jezebel hard to play on drums?

75 out of 100: demanding, mostly on how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 78 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

195 bars, about 3:56 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 76 exercises over 27 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 Jezebel?

11 fills to learn, played 28 times: bars 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 24 and 22 more.
