THE BEAT

One bar, and 18% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 3-16, 53-54 and 66-67, and 1 more place -- 18.4% 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 Lord Of The Thighs?

104 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 Lord Of The Thighs hard to play on drums?

46 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 21 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

114 bars, about 4:21 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 42 exercises over 12 sittings, about 27 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, 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 Lord Of The Thighs?

3 fills to learn, played 3 times: bars 55, 90 and 97.
