THE BEAT

One bar, and 16% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 4, 25-26 and 30, and 5 more places -- 16.3% 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 Power!?

160 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second notes. At that speed the thirty-second notes are the whole difficulty, so the room will take it down to a quarter of it and climb back.

Is Power! hard to play on drums?

77 out of 100: demanding, mostly on how much of it falls off the beat. The beat itself is 70 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

104 bars, about 2:36 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 38 exercises over 13 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 Power!?

7 fills to learn, played 17 times: bars 5, 10, 11, 12, 13, 20 and 11 more.
