THE BEAT

One bar, and 9% of the song

Questions

What BPM is Uh yaya?

190 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 Uh yaya hard to play on drums?

78 out of 100: demanding, mostly on how much of it falls off the beat. The beat itself is 57 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

102 bars, about 2:09 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 38 exercises over 12 sittings, about 28 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 Uh yaya?

6 fills to learn, played 7 times: bars 32, 34, 42, 50, 58, 70 and 1 more.
