THE BEAT

One bar, and 10% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 11-16, 34 and 187-188, and 6 more places -- 9.6% 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 Red Barchetta?

144 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth 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.

Is Red Barchetta hard to play on drums?

72 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 29 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

219 bars, about 6:07 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 84 exercises over 28 sittings, about 25 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 Red Barchetta?

24 fills to learn, played 61 times: bars 18, 25, 26, 42, 45, 46 and 55 more.
