THE BEAT

One bar, and 32% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 101-102, 104-105 and 147-171, and 15 more places -- 31.6% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

Questions

What BPM is Nietzsche?

120 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth 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 Nietzsche hard to play on drums?

30 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with the independence between the hands and the feet the part that decides it. The beat itself is 14 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

428 bars, about 14:15 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 56 exercises over 11 sittings, about 28 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, 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 Nietzsche?

12 fills to learn, played 44 times: bars 4, 8, 12, 16, 24, 28 and 38 more.
