THE BEAT

One bar, and 30% of the song

The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 17-23, 25-31 and 41-45, and 5 more places -- 29.5% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

Questions

What BPM is the BLACK seminole...?

136 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth 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 BLACK seminole... hard to play on drums?

28 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with the independence between the hands and the feet the part that decides it. The beat itself is 26 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

209 bars, about 6:09 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 52 exercises over 10 sittings, about 28 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 BLACK seminole...?

17 fills to learn, played 26 times: bars 24, 32, 48, 56, 63, 64 and 20 more.
