THE BEAT

One bar, and 17% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 28, 30 and 32, and 36 more places -- 17.1% 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 Reviver?

200 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 Reviver hard to play on drums?

61 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 31 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

237 bars, about 4:44 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 67 exercises over 21 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 Reviver?

5 fills to learn, played 12 times: bars 35, 39, 99, 103, 181, 182 and 6 more.
