THE BEAT

One bar, and 27% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 29-36, 41-56 and 73-75, and 1 more place -- 26.7% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

Questions

What BPM is Refresh The Demon?

115 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.

Is Refresh The Demon hard to play on drums?

84 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 84 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

150 bars, about 6:08 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 37 exercises over 14 sittings, about 24 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, mid tom, floor tom and kick. That is most of a full kit; the part moves around it rather than sitting in one place.
