THE BEAT

One bar, and 19% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 15-16, 19 and 29-31, and 11 more places -- 19.4% 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 Ready to Rock?

180 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 Ready to Rock hard to play on drums?

63 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 43 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

151 bars, about 3:21 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 58 exercises over 18 sittings, about 25 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 Ready to Rock?

18 fills to learn, played 39 times: bars 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 33 more.
