THE BEAT

One bar, and 30% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 5, 15-16 and 20-21, and 13 more places -- 30.1% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

Questions

What BPM is Ulan?

86 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 Ulan hard to play on drums?

46 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 26 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

108 bars, about 5:01 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 26 exercises over 8 sittings, about 25 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, 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 Ulan?

4 fills to learn, played 19 times: bars 6, 7, 38, 46, 55, 56 and 13 more.
