THE BEAT

One bar, and 31% of the song

The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 18-24, 37-43 and 57-61 -- 31.1% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

Questions

What BPM is Scars?

69 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second notes. Slow enough to hear every mistake, which is why the room lets you sit at the written tempo rather than under it.

Is Scars hard to play on drums?

70 out of 100: demanding, mostly on how much of it falls off the beat. The beat itself is 58 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

66 bars, about 3:48 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 29 exercises over 11 sittings, about 23 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 Scars?

6 fills to learn, played 14 times: bars 5, 15, 16, 17, 32, 34 and 8 more.
