THE BEAT

One bar, and 15% of the song

The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 45-47, 49-51 and 75-77, and 1 more place -- 14.6% 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 Shake?

120 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second 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 Shake hard to play on drums?

71 out of 100: demanding, mostly on how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 53 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

82 bars, about 2:44 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 39 exercises over 15 sittings, about 24 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 Shake?

5 fills to learn, played 29 times: bars 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22 and 23 more.
