THE BEAT

One bar, and 21% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 1-3, 5-7 and 9-11, and 7 more places -- 20.5% 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 One By One?

220 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second notes. At that speed the thirty-second notes are the whole difficulty, so the room will take it down to a quarter of it and climb back.

Is One By One hard to play on drums?

100 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 100 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

266 bars, about 4:50 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 56 exercises over 21 sittings, about 25 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 One By One?

18 fills to learn, played 42 times: bars 4, 8, 12, 16, 24, 32 and 36 more.
