The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 19-21, 23-25 and 27-33, and 2 more places -- 30.7% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

Questions

What BPM is The Driver?

139 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 Driver hard to play on drums?

55 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 38 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

90 bars, about 2:35 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 26 exercises over 7 sittings, about 26 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 The Driver?

7 fills to learn, played 12 times: bars 26, 34, 40, 57, 58, 66 and 6 more.
