THE BEAT

One bar, and 17% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 10, 58-60 and 65-68, and 9 more places -- 17% 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 Last Stop?

110 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth 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 Last Stop hard to play on drums?

52 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 28 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

190 bars, about 6:47 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 62 exercises over 16 sittings, about 27 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, hi-hat, snare, mid 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 Last Stop?

14 fills to learn, played 39 times: bars 16, 32, 36, 39, 40, 49 and 33 more.
