THE BEAT

One bar, and 30% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 1-7, 9-11 and 13-15, and 6 more places -- 30.4% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

Questions

What BPM is Monsoon?

112 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 Monsoon 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 23 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

107 bars, about 3:50 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 26 exercises over 7 sittings, about 26 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high 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 Monsoon?

1 fill to learn, played 1 time: bar 107.
