THE BEAT

One bar, and 21% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 14-20, 50-56 and 88-95 -- 20.6% 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 Lasso?

152 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 Lasso hard to play on drums?

48 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 0 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

107 bars, about 2:44 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 43 exercises over 12 sittings, about 26 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, hi-hat, snare, 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 Lasso?

4 fills to learn, played 4 times: bars 73, 81, 103 and 107.
