THE BEAT

One bar, and 11% of the song

Questions

What BPM is Washed?

140 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 Washed hard to play on drums?

53 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?

127 bars, about 3:38 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 50 exercises over 12 sittings, about 29 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 Washed?

15 fills to learn, played 24 times: bars 27, 28, 32, 36, 44, 52 and 18 more.
