THE BEAT

One bar, and 12% of the song

The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 25-39, 102-104 and 106-108, and 2 more places -- 12% 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 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 Pisces hard to play on drums?

57 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 53 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

248 bars, about 5:28 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 40 exercises over 11 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?

7 fills to learn, played 12 times: bars 24, 48, 49, 101, 103, 115 and 6 more.
