THE BEAT

One bar, and 11% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 27-32, 60-65 and 106, and 1 more place -- 10.5% 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 Parasocial Christ?

180 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 Parasocial Christ hard to play on drums?

58 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?

135 bars, about 2:59 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 49 exercises over 14 sittings, about 27 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 Parasocial Christ?

14 fills to learn, played 46 times: bars 4, 5, 8, 9, 17, 20 and 40 more.
