THE BEAT

One bar, and 26% of the song

The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 41-43, 45-67 and 109-116 -- 26.4% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

Questions

What BPM is One?

112 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 One hard to play on drums?

66 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 51 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

132 bars, about 4:43 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 34 exercises over 11 sittings, about 25 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, 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 One?

7 fills to learn, played 11 times: bars 4, 32, 68, 69, 76, 77 and 5 more.
