THE BEAT

One bar, and 13% of the song

The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 28-34 and 92-98 -- 13.2% 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 Predictable?

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 Predictable hard to play on drums?

60 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 54 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

109 bars, about 5:20 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 36 exercises over 11 sittings, about 26 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, 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 Predictable?

11 fills to learn, played 32 times: bars 8, 10, 12, 15, 16, 17 and 26 more.
