THE BEAT

One bar, and 15% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 34-40, 44-48 and 109-115 -- 15.3% 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 Mr. Tinkertrain?

126 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 Mr. Tinkertrain hard to play on drums?

54 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 31 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

140 bars, about 4:27 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 45 exercises over 12 sittings, about 27 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, hi-hat, snare, high tom, 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 Mr. Tinkertrain?

14 fills to learn, played 25 times: bars 18, 20, 22, 24, 41, 49 and 19 more.
