THE BEAT

One bar, and 16% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 9-15, 25-31 and 90-91, and 3 more places -- 15.8% 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 POETIC EDDA?

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 POETIC EDDA hard to play on drums?

89 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 61 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

218 bars, about 5:17 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 73 exercises over 20 sittings, about 28 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 POETIC EDDA?

14 fills to learn, played 21 times: bars 8, 16, 24, 57, 69, 73 and 15 more.
