THE BEAT

One bar, and 19% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 34, 36 and 38, and 5 more places -- 19% 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 Savior?

160 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth notes. At that speed the sixteenth notes are the whole difficulty, so the room will take it down to a quarter of it and climb back.

Is The Savior hard to play on drums?

49 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 37 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

127 bars, about 3:11 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 43 exercises over 12 sittings, about 25 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, 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 Savior?

8 fills to learn, played 12 times: bars 17, 33, 41, 53, 61, 77 and 6 more.
