THE BEAT

One bar, and 19% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 114-115, 118-119 and 123-124, and 18 more places -- 19.3% 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 Thank You?

173 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second notes. At that speed the thirty-second notes are the whole difficulty, so the room will take it down to a quarter of it and climb back.

Is Thank You hard to play on drums?

88 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how much of it falls off the beat. The beat itself is 75 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

209 bars, about 4:50 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 63 exercises over 26 sittings, about 24 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, 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 Thank You?

7 fills to learn, played 14 times: bars 9, 17, 18, 19, 21, 22 and 8 more.
