THE BEAT

One bar, and 34% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 5-28, 33-44 and 61-72, and 1 more place -- 34.2% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

Questions

What BPM is This Sacrament?

130 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth notes. The room plays it at any tempo from a quarter of that up to the written one, against the record where the record can follow.

Is This Sacrament hard to play on drums?

63 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 61 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

165 bars, about 5:05 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 48 exercises over 14 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 This Sacrament?

11 fills to learn, played 16 times: bars 52, 56, 60, 80, 84, 113 and 10 more.
