THE BEAT

One bar, and 21% of the song

The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 1-2, 5-6 and 9-10, and 9 more places -- 21.1% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

What BPM is The End Of The World?

Is The End Of The World hard to play on drums?

50 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 44 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom and kick. That is most of a full kit; the part moves around it rather than sitting in one place.

5 fills to learn, played 13 times: bars 35, 37, 59, 67, 71, 73 and 7 more.
