THE BEAT

One bar, and 30% of the song

The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 5-11, 21-28 and 33-40 -- 29.9% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

Questions

What BPM is Sweet And Low?

103 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 Sweet And Low 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 43 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

81 bars, about 3:09 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 24 exercises over 6 sittings, about 31 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 Sweet And Low?

5 fills to learn, played 10 times: bars 12, 48, 55, 56, 63, 64 and 4 more.
