THE BEAT

One bar, and 21% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 29-34, 61-66 and 73, and 2 more places -- 20.8% 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 She?

186 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 She hard to play on drums?

63 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 42 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

101 bars, about 2:10 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 30 exercises over 8 sittings, about 29 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot. That is most of a full kit; the part moves around it rather than sitting in one place.

How many fills are in She?

8 fills to learn, played 18 times: bars 20, 24, 28, 35, 36, 50 and 12 more.
