THE BEAT

One bar, and 23% of the song

The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 9-11, 13-15 and 17-19, and 12 more places -- 23.4% 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 Banner of Heaven?

147 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second notes. The room plays it at any tempo from a quarter of that up to the written one, against the record where the record can follow.

Is The Banner of Heaven 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 48 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

142 bars, about 3:51 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 45 exercises over 15 sittings, about 25 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, 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 Banner of Heaven?

13 fills to learn, played 33 times: bars 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 27 more.
