THE BEAT

One bar, and 23% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 61-63, 65-67 and 89-91, and 5 more places -- 23.3% 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 One?

90 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 One hard to play on drums?

53 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 27 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

112 bars, about 4:59 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 34 exercises over 11 sittings, about 25 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, 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 One?

9 fills to learn, played 11 times: bars 8, 36, 40, 56, 60, 64 and 5 more.
