THE BEAT

One bar, and 16% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 64, 66 and 68-69, and 4 more places -- 16.2% 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 Standby?

132 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 Standby hard to play on drums?

59 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 38 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

85 bars, about 2:35 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 28 exercises over 8 sittings, about 28 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, 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 Standby?

3 fills to learn, played 5 times: bars 6, 45, 46, 61 and 62.
