THE BEAT

One bar, and 28% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 74-95, 97-106 and 144-146 -- 27.6% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

Questions

What BPM is Walk?

132 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 Walk hard to play on drums?

51 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 33 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

147 bars, about 4:27 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 32 exercises over 9 sittings, about 27 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid 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 Walk?

6 fills to learn, played 8 times: bars 40, 55, 56, 96, 107, 108 and 2 more.
