THE BEAT

One bar, and 10% of the song

The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 10-17, 32 and 35-36, and 3 more places -- 9.7% 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 (sic) (Studio Version)?

203 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 (sic) (Studio Version) hard to play on drums?

60 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 59 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

145 bars, about 2:51 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 57 exercises over 16 sittings, about 26 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 (sic) (Studio Version)?

16 fills to learn, played 35 times: bars 2, 3, 4, 5, 9, 22 and 29 more.
