THE BEAT

One bar, and 13% of the song

The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 35-42 and 51-58 -- 13.4% 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 Law?

165 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 Law hard to play on drums?

77 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 66 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

133 bars, about 3:22 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 64 exercises over 20 sittings, about 26 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 Law?

22 fills to learn, played 27 times: bars 8, 12, 16, 26, 34, 44 and 21 more.
