THE BEAT

One bar, and 34% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 29-31, 33-35 and 37-39, and 9 more places -- 34% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

Questions

What BPM is Symmetry?

190 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 Symmetry hard to play on drums?

63 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 38 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

97 bars, about 2:03 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 26 exercises over 8 sittings, about 26 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, mid tom, floor 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 Symmetry?

10 fills to learn, played 16 times: bars 1, 18, 26, 27, 45, 46 and 10 more.
