THE BEAT

One bar, and 12% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 69-70, 85-90 and 93, and 6 more places -- 11.7% 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 very little effort?

150 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 very little effort hard to play on drums?

50 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 28 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

166 bars, about 4:26 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 45 exercises over 13 sittings, about 26 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 very little effort?

10 fills to learn, played 40 times: bars 22, 30, 38, 49, 50, 51 and 34 more.
