THE BEAT

One bar, and 16% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 44, 46 and 48, and 13 more places -- 15.5% 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 Heaviest Matter Of The Universe?

207 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 Heaviest Matter Of The Universe hard to play on drums?

91 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 70 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

200 bars, about 3:51 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 64 exercises over 21 sittings, about 25 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 Heaviest Matter Of The Universe?

14 fills to learn, played 25 times: bars 1, 2, 9, 10, 11, 17 and 19 more.
