THE BEAT

One bar, and 33% of the song

The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 33-38, 73-78 and 105-118, and 1 more place -- 33.3% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

Is Mind Over Matter hard to play on drums?

42 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with the independence between the hands and the feet the part that decides it. The beat itself is 37 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
