THE BEAT

One bar, and 7% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 77-79, 85-87 and 92-95 -- 6.5% 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 Roam?

170 BPM, in 3/4, 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 Roam hard to play on drums?

51 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 45 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

185 bars, about 3:43 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 62 exercises over 19 sittings, about 26 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, 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 Roam?

17 fills to learn, played 53 times: bars 8, 12, 14, 16, 17, 18 and 47 more.
