THE BEAT

One bar, and 21% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 10-11, 14-15 and 19-21, and 7 more places -- 21.2% 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 Violent Nature?

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

Is Violent Nature hard to play on drums?

82 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 21 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

91 bars, about 2:08 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 38 exercises over 14 sittings, about 25 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 Violent Nature?

3 fills to learn, played 5 times: bars 5, 34, 66, 90 and 91.
