THE BEAT

One bar, and 17% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 42-44, 46-47 and 51-54, and 6 more places -- 16.5% 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 Crimson?

163 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 Crimson hard to play on drums?

52 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 27 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

158 bars, about 3:53 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 70 exercises over 19 sittings, about 27 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 Crimson?

14 fills to learn, played 23 times: bars 16, 24, 40, 55, 56, 64 and 17 more.
