THE BEAT

One bar, and 18% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 13-19, 29 and 31-33, and 4 more places -- 18% 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 Sunday Morning?

156 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 Sunday Morning hard to play on drums?

57 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 22 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

161 bars, about 4:08 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 54 exercises over 16 sittings, about 26 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid 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 Sunday Morning?

5 fills to learn, played 11 times: bars 49, 50, 64, 80, 87, 88 and 5 more.
