THE BEAT

One bar, and 12% of the song

The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 35, 37 and 39-46, and 3 more places -- 12% 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 Visitant?

55 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second notes. Slow enough to hear every mistake, which is why the room lets you sit at the written tempo rather than under it.

Is The Visitant hard to play on drums?

79 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 79 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

164 bars, about 11:25 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 59 exercises over 21 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 Visitant?

10 fills to learn, played 38 times: bars 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 32 more.
