THE BEAT

One bar, and 23% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 43-45, 47-49 and 51-53, and 9 more places -- 23.1% 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 Love?

106 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 Love hard to play on drums?

73 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 56 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

166 bars, about 6:11 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 29 exercises over 10 sittings, about 26 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 Love?

1 fill to learn, played 1 time: bar 166.
