THE BEAT

One bar, and 7% of the song

The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 93-94, 96-97 and 99-100, and 3 more places -- 7.3% 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 Singularity?

218 BPM, in 6/4, 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 Singularity hard to play on drums?

49 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 28 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

262 bars, about 6:57 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 69 exercises over 19 sittings, about 26 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, 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 Singularity?

13 fills to learn, played 37 times: bars 7, 8, 16, 24, 32, 40 and 31 more.
