THE BEAT

One bar, and 9% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 32, 56 and 60, and 5 more places -- 9.3% 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 Monument?

195 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 Monument hard to play on drums?

53 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 35 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

88 bars, about 1:48 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 30 exercises over 8 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 Monument?

13 fills to learn, played 39 times: bars 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10 and 33 more.
