THE BEAT

One bar, and 17% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 24-25, 27-29 and 32-33, and 9 more places -- 16.8% 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 Liquid Fire?

127 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second 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 Liquid Fire hard to play on drums?

82 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how much of it falls off the beat. The beat itself is 39 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

138 bars, about 4:17 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 33 exercises over 11 sittings, about 25 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 Liquid Fire?

12 fills to learn, played 27 times: bars 1, 2, 3, 22, 23, 31 and 21 more.
