THE BEAT

One bar, and 21% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 1-3, 5-7 and 9, and 13 more places -- 21.1% 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 No Escape?

160 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 No Escape hard to play on drums?

54 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 37 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

135 bars, about 3:23 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 42 exercises over 13 sittings, about 24 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 No Escape?

5 fills to learn, played 10 times: bars 4, 8, 16, 30, 40, 60 and 4 more.
