THE BEAT

One bar, and 14% of the song

The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 121-128, 131-136 and 159-166, and 1 more place -- 13.6% 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 End/Dead!?

175 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second notes. At that speed the thirty-second notes are the whole difficulty, so the room will take it down to a quarter of it and climb back.

Is The End/Dead! hard to play on drums?

58 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 57 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

263 bars, about 5:24 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 36 exercises over 9 sittings, about 27 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/Dead!?

7 fills to learn, played 16 times: bars 112, 137, 138, 140, 154, 175 and 10 more.
