THE BEAT

One bar, and 18% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 18, 20 and 22, and 14 more places -- 18.1% 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 Retrovisor?

120 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 Retrovisor hard to play on drums?

27 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with the independence between the hands and the feet the part that decides it. The beat itself is 11 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

113 bars, about 3:46 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 22 exercises over 6 sittings, about 26 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, hi-hat, snare, 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 Retrovisor?

4 fills to learn, played 9 times: bars 40, 52, 60, 72, 80, 92 and 3 more.
