THE BEAT

One bar, and 24% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 13-19, 29-43 and 45-47, and 1 more place -- 24.2% 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 Stone In Love?

120 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 Stone In Love 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 46 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

138 bars, about 4:24 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 32 exercises over 11 sittings, about 24 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 Stone In Love?

5 fills to learn, played 7 times: bars 12, 20, 28, 48, 55, 56 and 1 more.
