THE BEAT

One bar, and 11% of the song

The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 5-10, 13-18 and 42-47, and 1 more place -- 11.1% 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 Remembrance?

204 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 Remembrance hard to play on drums?

87 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 89 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

217 bars, about 4:14 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 62 exercises over 22 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 Remembrance?

12 fills to learn, played 36 times: bars 2, 3, 11, 19, 20, 21 and 30 more.
