THE BEAT

One bar, and 23% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 10-16, 35-42 and 64-71, and 1 more place -- 23.4% 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 Still Waiting?

192 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 Still Waiting hard to play on drums?

50 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 35 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

126 bars, about 2:38 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 43 exercises over 11 sittings, about 26 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, hi-hat, snare, 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 Still Waiting?

9 fills to learn, played 17 times: bars 17, 21, 25, 29, 33, 34 and 11 more.
