THE BEAT

One bar, and 16% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 1-3, 5-7 and 25-27, and 5 more places -- 16.3% 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 The Absent Eyes?

183 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 The Absent Eyes 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 37 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

165 bars, about 3:53 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 53 exercises over 14 sittings, about 27 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 The Absent Eyes?

18 fills to learn, played 51 times: bars 4, 8, 12, 16, 24, 28 and 45 more.
