THE BEAT

One bar, and 10% of the song

The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 26-28, 30-32 and 34-36, and 5 more places -- 9.5% 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 Pisces?

140 BPM, in 3/4, 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 Pisces hard to play on drums?

71 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 61 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

217 bars, about 4:49 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 44 exercises over 15 sittings, about 25 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

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

How many fills are in Pisces?

8 fills to learn, played 14 times: bars 24, 40, 49, 101, 117, 145 and 8 more.
