THE BEAT

One bar, and 30% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 29-34, 54-59 and 70-76, and 4 more places -- 29.9% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

Questions

What BPM is Tired?

100 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 Tired hard to play on drums?

53 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 42 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

100 bars, about 4:00 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 34 exercises over 9 sittings, about 26 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot. That is most of a full kit; the part moves around it rather than sitting in one place.

How many fills are in Tired?

11 fills to learn, played 20 times: bars 12, 20, 35, 36, 37, 41 and 14 more.
