THE BEAT

One bar, and 7% of the song

The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 21-23, 37-39 and 45-47, and 1 more place -- 7% 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 Just Awake?

191 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 Just Awake hard to play on drums?

66 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 44 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

174 bars, about 3:38 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 65 exercises over 20 sittings, about 27 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high 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 Just Awake?

15 fills to learn, played 53 times: bars 5, 6, 7, 8, 24, 25 and 47 more.
