THE BEAT

One bar, and 19% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 21-22, 25-26 and 29-30, and 15 more places -- 19.1% 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 Stonewall?

175 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 Stonewall 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 40 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

205 bars, about 4:39 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 48 exercises over 14 sittings, about 25 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, 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 Stonewall?

10 fills to learn, played 15 times: bars 1, 9, 19, 27, 51, 59 and 9 more.
