THE BEAT

One bar, and 11% of the song

The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 145-160 -- 11.2% 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 Namu?

194 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 Namu hard to play on drums?

53 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 38 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

162 bars, about 3:20 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 50 exercises over 14 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 Namu?

16 fills to learn, played 45 times: bars 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22 and 39 more.
