The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 1-32, 42-48 and 50-56 -- 50% of every bar the kit plays. Learn that one and most of the song is already under your hands.
It is played on snare and kick, counted in thirty-second notes. On its own it scores 19 out of 100 -- straightforward -- and the thing that decides that is the independence between the hands and the feet.
The whole song is 60 out of 100, so the beat is not the hard part: what costs you is everything around it, the joins and the fills.
The room opens this beat on its simplest reduction, at 100 BPM, and adds the notes back a rung at a time -- 3 of them. Nothing is a matter of opinion: each rung has a tempo to reach and a gate to pass before the next one.
Tempo goes 100, 116 and 133 BPM, and the gate at each one is 8 loops in a row with no wrong note and no wobble in the time.
PRACTISE THIS BEAT →A one-bar groove on snare and kick, in 4/4 at 133 BPM, counted in thirty-second notes. It is written out above, and it covers 50% of the bars the kit plays.
Bars 1-32, 42-48 and 50-56. The time is kept on the toms to start with, and it changes 6 times over the song.
19 out of 100 on its own -- straightforward. The song as a whole is 60 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how much of it falls off the beat.
