THE BEAT

One bar, and 20% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 34-39, 43-46 and 48-50, 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 Schäfer?

165 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 Schäfer hard to play on drums?

53 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 26 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

95 bars, about 2:17 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 20 exercises over 6 sittings, about 28 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, 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 Schäfer?

5 fills to learn, played 13 times: bars 32, 40, 41, 55, 56, 57 and 7 more.
