THE BEAT

One bar, and 18% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 62-63, 66-67 and 70-71, and 15 more places -- 17.7% 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 OMNI?

230 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 OMNI hard to play on drums?

57 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 60 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

225 bars, about 3:54 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 43 exercises over 13 sittings, about 26 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 OMNI?

5 fills to learn, played 12 times: bars 36, 40, 41, 52, 53, 54 and 6 more.
