THE BEAT

One bar, and 30% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 2-8, 10-17 and 26-32, and 16 more places -- 30.2% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

Questions

What BPM is Titans?

195 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 Titans 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 46 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

217 bars, about 4:26 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 40 exercises over 13 sittings, about 24 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, 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 Titans?

3 fills to learn, played 3 times: bars 123, 171 and 210.
