THE BEAT

One bar, and 16% of the song

The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 38-39, 42-43 and 46-47, and 5 more places -- 16.3% 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 Leeloo?

150 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 Leeloo hard to play on drums?

60 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 45 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

106 bars, about 2:50 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 28 exercises over 8 sittings, about 27 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, 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 Leeloo?

7 fills to learn, played 33 times: bars 9, 11, 15, 17, 19, 21 and 27 more.
