The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 65-67, 69-70 and 73-75, and 13 more places -- 16.2% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.
It is played on crash, snare and kick, counted in sixteenth notes. On its own it scores 8 out of 100 -- straightforward -- and the thing that decides that is how many notes a second it asks for.
The whole song is 53 out of 100, so the beat is not the hard part: what costs you is everything around it, the joins and the fills.
The room opens this beat on its simplest reduction, at 135 BPM, and adds the notes back a rung at a time -- 3 of them. Nothing is a matter of opinion: each rung has a tempo to reach and a gate to pass before the next one.
Tempo goes 135, 158 and 180 BPM, and the gate at each one is 8 loops in a row with no wrong note and no wobble in the time.
PRACTISE THIS BEAT →A one-bar groove on crash, snare and kick, in 4/4 at 180 BPM, counted in sixteenth notes. It is written out above, and it covers 16.2% of the bars the kit plays.
Bars 65-67, 69-70, 73-75 and 77-78, and 12 more places. The time is kept on the kick and crashes to start with, and it changes 35 times over the song.
8 out of 100 on its own -- straightforward. The song as a whole is 53 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in the independence between the hands and the feet.
