THE BEAT

One bar, and 13% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 2-4, 6-7 and 10, and 5 more places -- 13.2% 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 Pallet Town?

152 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second 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 Pallet Town hard to play on drums?

63 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 39 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

122 bars, about 3:13 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 38 exercises over 16 sittings, about 23 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, kick and hi-hat foot. That is most of a full kit; the part moves around it rather than sitting in one place.
