The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 49-54, 73-78 and 86, and 5 more places -- 17.7% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.
It is played on hi-hat, snare and kick, counted in thirty-second notes. On its own it scores 37 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- and the thing that decides that is how fine the subdivision is.
The whole song is 60 out of 100, so the beat is not the hard part: what costs you is everything around it, the joins and the fills.
The room opens this beat on its simplest reduction, at 80 BPM, and adds the notes back a rung at a time -- 3 of them. Nothing is a matter of opinion: each rung has a tempo to reach and a gate to pass before the next one.
Tempo goes 80, 94 and 107 BPM, and the gate at each one is 8 loops in a row with no wrong note and no wobble in the time.
PRACTISE THIS BEAT →A one-bar groove on hi-hat, snare and kick, in 4/4 at 107 BPM, counted in thirty-second notes. It is written out above, and it covers 17.7% of the bars the kit plays.
Bars 49-54, 73-78, 86 and 88, and 4 more places. The time is kept on the silence to start with, and it changes 14 times over the song.
37 out of 100 on its own -- a fair first song. The song as a whole is 60 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in the independence between the hands and the feet.
