THE BEAT

One bar, and 11% of the song

The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 25-27, 29-31 and 55-56, and 1 more place -- 10.9% 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 Sunset Kiss?

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 Sunset Kiss hard to play on drums?

56 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 54 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

105 bars, about 3:28 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 45 exercises over 13 sittings, about 27 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, hi-hat, snare, 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 Sunset Kiss?

8 fills to learn, played 20 times: bars 24, 28, 42, 46, 51, 52 and 14 more.
