THE BEAT

One bar, and 14% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 33-34, 37-38 and 41-42, and 9 more places -- 14.4% 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 Skin Tight?

160 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 Skin Tight 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 45 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

173 bars, about 4:20 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 57 exercises over 14 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 Skin Tight?

17 fills to learn, played 36 times: bars 8, 16, 24, 31, 32, 36 and 30 more.
