The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 79-84, 87-89 and 91-92, and 12 more places -- 15.3% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.
It is played on ride, snare and floor tom, counted in sixteenth notes. On its own it scores 57 out of 100 -- a step up -- and the thing that decides that is how many notes a second it asks for.
The whole song is 42 out of 100, so the beat is most of what the song asks for. Get it clean and the rest follows.
The room opens this beat on its simplest reduction, at 98 BPM, and adds the notes back a rung at a time -- 4 of them. Nothing is a matter of opinion: each rung has a tempo to reach and a gate to pass before the next one.
Tempo goes 98, 115, 133 and 150 BPM, and the gate at each one is 8 loops in a row with no wrong note and no wobble in the time.
PRACTISE THIS BEAT →A one-bar groove on ride, snare and floor tom, in 4/4 at 150 BPM, counted in sixteenth notes. It is written out above, and it covers 15.3% of the bars the kit plays.
Bars 79-84, 87-89, 91-92 and 120-122, and 11 more places. The time is kept on the silence to start with, and it changes 26 times over the song.
57 out of 100 on its own -- a step up. The song as a whole is 42 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with how often it moves around the kit the part that decides it.
