THE BEAT

One bar, and 19% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 15-22, 55-60 and 63-70, and 1 more place -- 18.8% 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 Survive?

135 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 Survive hard to play on drums?

58 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 30 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

167 bars, about 4:57 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 42 exercises over 12 sittings, about 26 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 Survive?

4 fills to learn, played 9 times: bars 42, 45, 46, 54, 88, 90 and 3 more.
