THE BEAT

One bar, and 30% of the song

The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 27-30, 39-46 and 56-63 -- 30.3% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

Questions

What BPM is Scream?

107 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth 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 Scream hard to play on drums?

67 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 54 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

68 bars, about 2:32 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 21 exercises over 6 sittings, about 27 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 Scream?

3 fills to learn, played 6 times: bars 18, 47, 53, 55, 65 and 67.
