THE BEAT

One bar, and 17% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 8-10, 21-22 and 40-48, and 4 more places -- 17.3% 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 jingo?

126 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 jingo hard to play on drums?

35 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with how much of it falls off the beat the part that decides it. The beat itself is 16 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

140 bars, about 4:26 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 41 exercises over 10 sittings, about 26 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, 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 jingo?

1 fill to learn, played 2 times: bars 23 and 87.
