THE BEAT

One bar, and 16% of the song

The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 17-24, 33-35 and 37-39, and 2 more places -- 15.9% 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 Morgondagen?

60 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth notes. Slow enough to hear every mistake, which is why the room lets you sit at the written tempo rather than under it.

Is Morgondagen hard to play on drums?

62 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 43 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

121 bars, about 8:02 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 41 exercises over 11 sittings, about 27 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, 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 Morgondagen?

16 fills to learn, played 30 times: bars 32, 36, 40, 42, 44, 46 and 24 more.
