THE BEAT

One bar, and 20% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 10-17, 56-63 and 106-113 -- 20% 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 Good?

184 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 Good hard to play on drums?

52 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 30 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

133 bars, about 2:53 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 39 exercises over 11 sittings, about 24 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, 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 No Good?

7 fills to learn, played 12 times: bars 26, 30, 32, 71, 77, 80 and 6 more.
