THE BEAT

One bar, and 15% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 27-28, 34-35 and 69-70, and 3 more places -- 14.6% 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 Verbatim?

136 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 Verbatim hard to play on drums?

56 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 29 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

83 bars, about 2:26 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 31 exercises over 8 sittings, about 28 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, 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 Verbatim?

10 fills to learn, played 27 times: bars 25, 26, 29, 30, 31, 32 and 21 more.
