THE BEAT

One bar, and 28% of the song

The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 1-7, 25-40 and 49-60, and 1 more place -- 27.5% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

Questions

What BPM is Le Ciel?

123 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 Le Ciel 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 46 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

153 bars, about 4:33 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 30 exercises over 7 sittings, about 31 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 Le Ciel?

8 fills to learn, played 21 times: bars 8, 62, 64, 66, 70, 74 and 15 more.
