THE BEAT

One bar, and 15% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 2-4, 6-8 and 10-12, and 5 more places -- 14.6% 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 Rapture?

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

Is Rapture hard to play on drums?

80 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 70 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

195 bars, about 4:31 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 45 exercises over 16 sittings, about 24 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, 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 Rapture?

16 fills to learn, played 42 times: bars 5, 9, 13, 17, 18, 19 and 36 more.
