THE BEAT

One bar, and 21% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 9-11, 13-15 and 38-40, and 5 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 Walk?

120 BPM, in 6/4, 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 36 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

158 bars, about 7:54 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 37 exercises over 10 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 Walk?

11 fills to learn, played 39 times: bars 3, 4, 8, 12, 16, 17 and 33 more.
