THE BEAT

One bar, and 27% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 89-95, 97-103 and 123, and 1 more place -- 27.2% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

Questions

What BPM is Situations?

202 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 Situations hard to play on drums?

50 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 41 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

149 bars, about 2:57 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 30 exercises over 8 sittings, about 28 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 Situations?

4 fills to learn, played 5 times: bars 4, 24, 50, 64 and 96.
