THE BEAT

One bar, and 25% of the song

The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 34-35, 37-38 and 40-41, and 7 more places -- 25% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

Questions

What BPM is Murkarjus?

120 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second 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 Murkarjus hard to play on drums?

57 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how much of it falls off the beat. The beat itself is 43 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

123 bars, about 5:01 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 12 exercises over 5 sittings, about 20 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, 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 Murkarjus?

2 fills to learn, played 8 times: bars 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18 and 2 more.
