THE BEAT

One bar, and 19% of the song

The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 23-25, 27-29 and 31-33, and 5 more places -- 19% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

Questions

What BPM is Up All Night?

160 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth notes. At that speed the sixteenth notes are the whole difficulty, so the room will take it down to a quarter of it and climb back.

Is Up All Night hard to play on drums?

71 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 69 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

128 bars, about 3:11 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 38 exercises over 12 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 Up All Night?

15 fills to learn, played 33 times: bars 4, 8, 12, 16, 26, 34 and 27 more.
