THE BEAT

One bar, and 15% of the song

The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 34-41 and 59-66 -- 15.1% 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 Perennial?

105 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 Perennial hard to play on drums?

75 out of 100: demanding, mostly on how much of it falls off the beat. The beat itself is 52 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

121 bars, about 4:35 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 43 exercises over 14 sittings, about 26 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 Perennial?

11 fills to learn, played 22 times: bars 24, 25, 27, 29, 31, 33 and 16 more.
