THE BEAT

One bar, and 19% of the song

The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 25-27, 29-31 and 33-35, and 5 more places -- 19% 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 NAMELESS?

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

How long is the drum part?

134 bars, about 2:59 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 54 exercises over 16 sittings, about 26 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 NAMELESS?

20 fills to learn, played 48 times: bars 2, 4, 6, 8, 15, 16 and 42 more.
