THE BEAT

One bar, and 16% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 17-19, 31-33 and 55-57, and 1 more place -- 16.4% 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 Resort?

91 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 Last Resort hard to play on drums?

62 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 52 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

75 bars, about 3:16 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 37 exercises over 11 sittings, about 26 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 Last Resort?

10 fills to learn, played 16 times: bars 4, 16, 20, 22, 30, 34 and 10 more.
