THE BEAT

One bar, and 20% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 1-6, 17-20 and 34, and 10 more places -- 20.2% 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 Ruin?

133 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 Ruin hard to play on drums?

78 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 64 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

129 bars, about 3:53 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 44 exercises over 19 sittings, about 23 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 Ruin?

8 fills to learn, played 35 times: bars 32, 83, 84, 89, 90, 91 and 29 more.
