THE BEAT

One bar, and 11% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 17-19, 21-22 and 25-27, and 7 more places -- 10.8% 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 Theogony?

230 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 Theogony hard to play on drums?

88 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 66 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

212 bars, about 3:56 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 71 exercises over 26 sittings, about 24 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 Theogony?

15 fills to learn, played 38 times: bars 20, 28, 30, 37, 38, 39 and 32 more.
