THE BEAT

One bar, and 26% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 22-28, 30-36 and 44-50, and 3 more places -- 26.4% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

Questions

What BPM is Psychedelic Mix?

160 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 Psychedelic Mix hard to play on drums?

28 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with how often it moves around the kit the part that decides it. The beat itself is 8 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

165 bars, about 4:08 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 29 exercises over 7 sittings, about 26 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, 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 Psychedelic Mix?

3 fills to learn, played 4 times: bars 89, 141, 145 and 165.
