THE BEAT

One bar, and 30% of the song

The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 17-18, 21-22 and 25-26, and 4 more places -- 30.2% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

Questions

What BPM is Slow Dance?

146 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second 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 Slow Dance hard to play on drums?

66 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 44 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

43 bars, about 1:11 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 13 exercises over 5 sittings, about 23 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, 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 Slow Dance?

1 fill to learn, played 1 time: bar 42.
