THE BEAT

One bar, and 12% of the song

The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 53-62 and 113-115 -- 11.6% 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 Labyrinth Organism?

74 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second notes. Slow enough to hear every mistake, which is why the room lets you sit at the written tempo rather than under it.

Is Labyrinth Organism hard to play on drums?

54 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 46 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

173 bars, about 10:47 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 33 exercises over 9 sittings, about 25 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid 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 Labyrinth Organism?

2 fills to learn, played 2 times: bars 52 and 116.
