THE BEAT

One bar, and 8% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 10, 12 and 14, and 5 more places -- 7.5% 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 Salamander?

172 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 Salamander hard to play on drums?

49 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 42 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

115 bars, about 2:40 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 43 exercises over 11 sittings, about 27 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, hi-hat, snare, 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 Salamander?

7 fills to learn, played 15 times: bars 11, 13, 17, 21, 25, 32 and 9 more.
