THE BEAT

One bar, and 15% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 49-51, 53-55 and 57-59, and 5 more places -- 14.8% 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 Maybe?

120 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 Maybe hard to play on drums?

57 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 39 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

192 bars, about 6:24 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 43 exercises over 10 sittings, about 28 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, hi-hat, snare, high tom, 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 Maybe?

10 fills to learn, played 26 times: bars 8, 16, 24, 36, 40, 48 and 20 more.
