THE BEAT

One bar, and 20% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 5-10, 91-97 and 99-104 -- 19.8% 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 Ohms?

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 Ohms hard to play on drums?

66 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 29 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

107 bars, about 2:08 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 31 exercises over 12 sittings, about 23 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, 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 Ohms?

6 fills to learn, played 20 times: bars 11, 12, 26, 30, 31, 32 and 14 more.
