THE BEAT

One bar, and 10% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 5-7, 17-19 and 24, and 8 more places -- 10.3% 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 Knee Deep?

115 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second 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 Knee Deep hard to play on drums?

73 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?

149 bars, about 5:17 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 73 exercises over 25 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 Knee Deep?

17 fills to learn, played 27 times: bars 1, 2, 3, 4, 25, 27 and 21 more.
