THE BEAT

One bar, and 20% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 14, 16 and 18-24, and 1 more place -- 20.3% 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 It Isn't?

95 BPM, in 4/4, 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 No It Isn't hard to play on drums?

77 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 45 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

68 bars, about 2:52 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 27 exercises over 11 sittings, about 23 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid 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 No It Isn't?

4 fills to learn, played 8 times: bars 43, 44, 45, 49, 53, 57 and 2 more.
