THE BEAT

One bar, and 23% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 9-11, 21-23 and 35-37, and 3 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 Skinnyman?

92 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth notes. The room plays it at any tempo from a quarter of that up to the written one, against the record where the record can follow.

Is Skinnyman hard to play on drums?

67 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 50 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

80 bars, about 3:29 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 25 exercises over 8 sittings, about 27 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 Skinnyman?

5 fills to learn, played 9 times: bars 1, 2, 3, 4, 12, 20 and 3 more.
