THE BEAT

One bar, and 25% of the song

The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 9-10, 13-14 and 21, and 9 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 Nemesis?

125 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 Nemesis hard to play on drums?

68 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 49 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

90 bars, about 2:53 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 26 exercises over 8 sittings, about 26 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, 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 Nemesis?

4 fills to learn, played 12 times: bars 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 6 more.
