The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 2-3, 5-6 and 8-9, and 9 more places -- 17.4% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.
It is played on the floor tom, counted in thirty-second notes. On its own it scores 3 out of 100 -- straightforward -- and the thing that decides that is how fine the subdivision is.
The whole song is 76 out of 100, so the beat is not the hard part: what costs you is everything around it, the joins and the fills.
A part this hard is not learned by playing it slowly and hoping. The room opens it on its simplest reduction -- the timekeeper alone, at 135 BPM -- and adds the notes back over 3 rungs, each with a tempo to reach and a gate to pass before the next.
Tempo goes 135, 158 and 180 BPM, and the gate at each one is 8 loops in a row with no wrong note and no wobble in the time.
PRACTISE THIS BEAT →A one-bar groove on floor tom, in 4/4 at 180 BPM, counted in thirty-second notes. It is written out above, and it covers 17.4% of the bars the kit plays.
Bars 2-3, 5-6, 8-9 and 11-12, and 8 more places. The time is kept on the toms to start with, and it changes 12 times over the song.
3 out of 100 on its own -- straightforward. The song as a whole is 76 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet.
