THE BEAT

One bar, and 15% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 18, 20 and 22-23, and 6 more places -- 14.7% 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 Take my hand?

192 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 Take my hand 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?

164 bars, about 3:24 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 75 exercises over 21 sittings, about 27 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, 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 Take my hand?

23 fills to learn, played 44 times: bars 9, 16, 17, 24, 25, 26 and 38 more.
