THE BEAT

One bar, and 23% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 21-23, 25-27 and 29-31, and 6 more places -- 23.1% 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 Fall?

194 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 Fall hard to play on drums?

88 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 42 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

117 bars, about 2:25 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 43 exercises over 17 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 Fall?

10 fills to learn, played 36 times: bars 6, 7, 8, 28, 36, 51 and 30 more.
