THE BEAT

One bar, and 33% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 3-9, 11-17 and 42, and 10 more places -- 33.3% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

Questions

What BPM is The World?

190 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 World hard to play on drums?

60 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 47 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

170 bars, about 3:35 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 37 exercises over 11 sittings, about 27 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

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 World?

1 fill to learn, played 2 times: bars 169 and 170.
