THE BEAT

One bar, and 20% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 9-16 and 19-26 -- 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 On The Floor?

130 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth 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 On The Floor hard to play on drums?

47 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how much of it falls off the beat. The beat itself is 0 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

116 bars, about 3:34 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 32 exercises over 10 sittings, about 25 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, hi-hat, snare, 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 On The Floor?

1 fill to learn, played 1 time: bar 98.
