THE BEAT

One bar, and 21% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 41-44, 83-85 and 87-89, and 5 more places -- 21.2% 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 OSKR?

185 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 OSKR hard to play on drums?

73 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 62 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

172 bars, about 3:42 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 70 exercises over 21 sittings, about 26 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, 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 OSKR?

21 fills to learn, played 46 times: bars 7, 14, 15, 16, 23, 24 and 40 more.
