THE BEAT

One bar, and 10% of the song

The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 34, 36 and 38-39, and 2 more places -- 10.3% 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 Peaky Peaky?

132 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 Peaky Peaky hard to play on drums?

60 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 45 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

101 bars, about 3:08 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 47 exercises over 15 sittings, about 25 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, 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 Peaky Peaky?

15 fills to learn, played 37 times: bars 5, 6, 7, 9, 11, 15 and 31 more.
