THE BEAT

One bar, and 20% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 29-31, 33-35 and 78-84, and 1 more place -- 20% 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 Kindergarten Shoot Out?

160 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second notes. At that speed the thirty-second notes are the whole difficulty, so the room will take it down to a quarter of it and climb back.

Is Kindergarten Shoot Out hard to play on drums?

76 out of 100: demanding, mostly on how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 36 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

102 bars, about 2:32 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 46 exercises over 14 sittings, about 26 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 Kindergarten Shoot Out?

12 fills to learn, played 14 times: bars 12, 14, 16, 22, 24, 26 and 8 more.
