THE BEAT

One bar, and 21% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 17-23, 53 and 57, and 2 more places -- 20.6% 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 Slamaholics?

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 Slamaholics hard to play on drums?

55 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 24 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

68 bars, about 1:42 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 29 exercises over 7 sittings, about 28 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid 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 Slamaholics?

8 fills to learn, played 14 times: bars 4, 7, 8, 24, 28, 29 and 8 more.
