THE BEAT

One bar, and 16% of the song

The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 11-13, 15-17 and 36-38, and 1 more place -- 16.4% 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 Premier Inn?

90 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second 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 Premier Inn hard to play on drums?

85 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 79 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

76 bars, about 3:20 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 35 exercises over 15 sittings, about 24 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, hi-hat, snare, 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 Premier Inn?

9 fills to learn, played 16 times: bars 2, 18, 22, 27, 43, 47 and 10 more.
