THE BEAT

One bar, and 9% of the song

The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 9-11, 13-15 and 59, and 2 more places -- 8.9% 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 Lye Solution?

170 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 Lye Solution hard to play on drums?

67 out of 100: demanding, mostly on how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 51 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

141 bars, about 3:19 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 62 exercises over 21 sittings, about 25 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 Lye Solution?

23 fills to learn, played 58 times: bars 8, 10, 14, 16, 20, 24 and 52 more.
