THE BEAT

One bar, and 23% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 2-17, 74-89 and 178-193 -- 23.3% 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 Synergy?

172 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 Synergy hard to play on drums?

61 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?

210 bars, about 4:47 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 36 exercises over 11 sittings, about 25 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, 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 Synergy?

5 fills to learn, played 7 times: bars 49, 73, 97, 113, 137, 145 and 1 more.
