THE BEAT

One bar, and 20% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 1-7, 9-11 and 13-15, and 5 more places -- 19.5% 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 Exonerated ai?

150 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 Exonerated ai hard to play on drums?

84 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 91 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

191 bars, about 5:06 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 51 exercises over 15 sittings, about 27 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, 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 Exonerated ai?

15 fills to learn, played 33 times: bars 8, 16, 24, 31, 33, 41 and 27 more.
