THE BEAT

One bar, and 31% of the song

The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 17-40, 57-63 and 65-72, and 1 more place -- 30.5% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

Questions

What BPM is The End?

120 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 End hard to play on drums?

74 out of 100: demanding, mostly on how much of it falls off the beat. The beat itself is 55 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

150 bars, about 5:00 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 52 exercises over 18 sittings, about 24 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 End?

11 fills to learn, played 21 times: bars 54, 55, 56, 64, 86, 87 and 15 more.
