THE BEAT

One bar, and 4% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 65-66, 69 and 73-75, and 1 more place -- 4.2% 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 Loneshark?

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 Loneshark hard to play on drums?

47 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 36 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

172 bars, about 3:37 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 74 exercises over 19 sittings, about 26 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, 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 Loneshark?

26 fills to learn, played 60 times: bars 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 54 more.
