THE BEAT

One bar, and 11% of the song

The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 21-24, 33 and 35-36, and 2 more places -- 11% 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 Pool?

80 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 Pool hard to play on drums?

47 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 44 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

126 bars, about 7:50 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 49 exercises over 14 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 Pool?

13 fills to learn, played 27 times: bars 11, 12, 14, 15, 22, 24 and 21 more.
