THE BEAT

One bar, and 15% of the song

The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 34-36, 91-97 and 99-105 -- 14.5% 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 Nemophilia?

175 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 Nemophilia hard to play on drums?

64 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 32 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

127 bars, about 2:54 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 51 exercises over 15 sittings, about 27 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, 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 Nemophilia?

17 fills to learn, played 36 times: bars 1, 3, 5, 9, 15, 32 and 30 more.
