THE BEAT

One bar, and 20% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 19, 37-43 and 45-50, and 4 more places -- 20.1% 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 My Effigy?

200 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 My Effigy hard to play on drums?

48 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 11 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

143 bars, about 2:51 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 46 exercises over 11 sittings, about 28 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 My Effigy?

11 fills to learn, played 20 times: bars 8, 12, 16, 20, 28, 32 and 14 more.
