THE BEAT

One bar, and 25% of the song

The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 10-17, 42-49 and 69, and 3 more places -- 24.7% 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 Stab?

170 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 Stab hard to play on drums?

70 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 37 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

85 bars, about 1:58 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 35 exercises over 10 sittings, about 27 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, 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 Stab?

8 fills to learn, played 9 times: bars 1, 25, 29, 70, 73, 79 and 3 more.
