THE BEAT

One bar, and 8% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 21-23, 25-27 and 57-59, and 3 more places -- 8% 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 Struck Dead?

153 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second 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 Struck Dead hard to play on drums?

75 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 56 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

224 bars, about 5:51 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 97 exercises over 29 sittings, about 27 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 Struck Dead?

34 fills to learn, played 73 times: bars 1, 2, 13, 14, 15, 16 and 67 more.
