THE BEAT

One bar, and 20% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 25-39, 113-119 and 121-127, and 1 more place -- 20.3% 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 Save Us?

170 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 Save Us hard to play on drums?

72 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 82 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

177 bars, about 4:10 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 35 exercises over 11 sittings, about 25 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 Save Us?

5 fills to learn, played 13 times: bars 24, 40, 44, 48, 64, 74 and 7 more.
