THE BEAT

One bar, and 15% of the song

The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 9-18, 56-58 and 60 -- 15.4% 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 severed?

145 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 severed hard to play on drums?

46 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 41 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

91 bars, about 2:28 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 44 exercises over 11 sittings, about 26 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, hi-hat, snare, 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 severed?

6 fills to learn, played 12 times: bars 8, 26, 27, 38, 53, 54 and 6 more.
