THE BEAT

One bar, and 9% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 53, 155-156 and 162-177 -- 9.1% 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 New Day?

87 BPM, in 3/4, 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 New Day hard to play on drums?

79 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 55 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

225 bars, about 7:57 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 62 exercises over 20 sittings, about 25 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot. That is most of a full kit; the part moves around it rather than sitting in one place.

How many fills are in New Day?

8 fills to learn, played 14 times: bars 5, 6, 54, 62, 110, 118 and 8 more.
