THE BEAT

One bar, and 19% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 5, 84-86 and 92, and 6 more places -- 18.6% 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 Motorbike?

80 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 Motorbike hard to play on drums?

45 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 39 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

234 bars, about 11:26 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 53 exercises over 13 sittings, about 26 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid 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 Motorbike?

9 fills to learn, played 20 times: bars 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 78 and 14 more.
