The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 1-8, 53-54 and 94-95, and 1 more place -- 18.1% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.
It is played on the hi-hat, counted in thirty-second notes. On its own it scores 1 out of 100 -- straightforward -- and the thing that decides that is how fine the subdivision is.
The whole song is 64 out of 100, so the beat is not the hard part: what costs you is everything around it, the joins and the fills.
The room opens this beat on its simplest reduction, at 76 BPM, and adds the notes back a rung at a time -- 3 of them. Nothing is a matter of opinion: each rung has a tempo to reach and a gate to pass before the next one.
Tempo goes 76, 88 and 101 BPM, and the gate at each one is 8 loops in a row with no wrong note and no wobble in the time.
PRACTISE THIS BEAT →A one-bar groove on hi-hat, in 8/4 at 101 BPM, counted in thirty-second notes. It is written out above, and it covers 18.1% of the bars the kit plays.
Bars 1-8, 53-54, 94-95 and 97-99. The time is kept on the hi-hat to start with, and it changes 9 times over the song.
1 out of 100 on its own -- straightforward. The song as a whole is 64 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in the independence between the hands and the feet.
