THE BEAT

One bar, and 17% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 41-43, 45-47 and 57-59, and 1 more place -- 17.4% 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 project2?

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

Is project2 hard to play on drums?

83 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 33 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

68 bars, about 1:14 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 33 exercises over 11 sittings, about 24 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 project2?

13 fills to learn, played 18 times: bars 7, 8, 16, 20, 23, 24 and 12 more.
