THE BEAT

One bar, and 19% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 5-6, 9-10 and 33-35, and 12 more places -- 19.1% 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 Noots?

180 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 Noots hard to play on drums?

66 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 47 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

155 bars, about 3:26 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 53 exercises over 16 sittings, about 27 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, mid 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 Noots?

15 fills to learn, played 34 times: bars 4, 12, 26, 27, 28, 29 and 28 more.
