THE BEAT

One bar, and 13% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 28-30, 32-34 and 84-85, and 5 more places -- 13% 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 Lake Bodom?

147 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 Lake Bodom hard to play on drums?

77 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 78 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

147 bars, about 3:59 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 57 exercises over 16 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 Lake Bodom?

18 fills to learn, played 30 times: bars 18, 19, 26, 27, 31, 35 and 24 more.
