THE BEAT

One bar, and 12% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 18-23, 42-47 and 89-91, and 1 more place -- 11.5% 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 Supremist?

200 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 Supremist hard to play on drums?

78 out of 100: demanding, mostly on how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 59 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

150 bars, about 3:00 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 56 exercises over 19 sittings, about 24 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 Supremist?

13 fills to learn, played 22 times: bars 4, 5, 17, 24, 33, 37 and 16 more.
