THE BEAT

One bar, and 19% of the song

The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 21-23, 25-27 and 41-43, and 1 more place -- 18.5% 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 psycho-orgy?

98 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.

79 out of 100: demanding, mostly on how much of it falls off the beat. The beat itself is 81 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

What do I need on the kit?
