THE BEAT

One bar, and 21% of the song

The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 11-13, 16-18 and 30-31, and 7 more places -- 20.6% 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 Strength Beyond Strength?

210 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second notes. At that speed the thirty-second notes are the whole difficulty, so the room will take it down to a quarter of it and climb back.

Is Strength Beyond Strength hard to play on drums?

78 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 69 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

147 bars, about 2:41 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 47 exercises over 16 sittings, about 26 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 Strength Beyond Strength?

9 fills to learn, played 19 times: bars 38, 40, 42, 44, 46, 69 and 13 more.
