THE BEAT

One bar, and 30% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 5-6, 9-10 and 13-14, and 15 more places -- 30.3% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

Questions

What BPM is Lane Boy?

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

Is Lane Boy hard to play on drums?

61 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 40 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

149 bars, about 3:44 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 19 exercises over 7 sittings, about 24 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 Lane Boy?

4 fills to learn, played 6 times: bars 116, 124, 128, 131, 132 and 136.
