THE BEAT

One bar, and 22% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 27-33, 36 and 38-41, and 17 more places -- 21.9% 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 Man Standing?

180 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 Last Man Standing hard to play on drums?

56 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 34 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

197 bars, about 4:44 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 64 exercises over 17 sittings, about 28 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, 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 Last Man Standing?

16 fills to learn, played 40 times: bars 4, 6, 14, 18, 22, 34 and 34 more.
