THE BEAT

One bar, and 10% of the song

The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 33-35, 37-39 and 67-69, and 1 more place -- 10.3% 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 Meteor?

136 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 Meteor 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 34 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

134 bars, about 3:56 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 34 exercises over 9 sittings, about 26 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, 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 Meteor?

11 fills to learn, played 25 times: bars 8, 9, 16, 31, 32, 36 and 19 more.
