THE BEAT

One bar, and 30% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 10-16, 18-20 and 26-37, and 3 more places -- 30.2% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

Questions

What BPM is Kool-Aid?

150 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 Kool-Aid hard to play on drums?

46 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 9 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

123 bars, about 3:17 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 41 exercises over 10 sittings, about 28 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, 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 Kool-Aid?

11 fills to learn, played 18 times: bars 17, 39, 43, 47, 69, 89 and 12 more.
