THE BEAT

One bar, and 23% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 4-5, 21-22 and 24-29, and 1 more place -- 22.5% 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 PRAISES?

144 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 PRAISES hard to play on drums?

37 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with how often it moves around the kit the part that decides it. The beat itself is 0 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

91 bars, about 2:32 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 30 exercises over 8 sittings, about 26 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, 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 PRAISES?

7 fills to learn, played 16 times: bars 2, 3, 6, 7, 9, 19 and 10 more.
