THE BEAT

One bar, and 34% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 6-8, 11-12 and 15-16, and 5 more places -- 34% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

Questions

What BPM is Untitled?

92 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 Untitled hard to play on drums?

54 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 36 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

54 bars, about 2:21 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 13 exercises over 5 sittings, about 24 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid 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 Untitled?

3 fills to learn, played 4 times: bars 37, 45, 49 and 53.
