THE BEAT

One bar, and 6% of the song

The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 9-14 -- 5.5% 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 New Faces In The Dark?

165 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 New Faces In The Dark 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 60 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

127 bars, about 3:04 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 44 exercises over 14 sittings, about 26 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high 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 Faces In The Dark?

13 fills to learn, played 47 times: bars 17, 18, 21, 22, 23, 24 and 41 more.
