THE BEAT

One bar, and 24% of the song

The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 2-3, 6-7 and 10-11, and 5 more places -- 23.5% 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 Opulence is a sin, we all pay for it?

165 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 Opulence is a sin, we all pay for it hard to play on drums?

61 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 41 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

68 bars, about 1:39 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 22 exercises over 7 sittings, about 24 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high 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 Opulence is a sin, we all pay for it?

5 fills to learn, played 8 times: bars 1, 18, 26, 41, 43, 49 and 2 more.
