THE BEAT

One bar, and 23% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 29-30, 35-36 and 49-54, and 9 more places -- 23.1% 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 Is My Sin?

155 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 Is My Sin hard to play on drums?

58 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 36 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

179 bars, about 4:37 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 46 exercises over 12 sittings, about 27 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, 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 She Is My Sin?

14 fills to learn, played 28 times: bars 7, 8, 10, 15, 16, 23 and 22 more.
