THE BEAT

One bar, and 7% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 29-31, 33 and 100, and 4 more places -- 6.5% 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 Last Dying Breath?

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

Is Last Dying Breath hard to play on drums?

65 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 44 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

140 bars, about 2:42 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 71 exercises over 24 sittings, about 26 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, 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 Last Dying Breath?

11 fills to learn, played 14 times: bars 1, 5, 7, 14, 16, 28 and 8 more.
