THE BEAT

One bar, and 12% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 45-51, 55-56 and 59 -- 12% 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 We Own The Night?

235 BPM, in 6/4, with the time kept in sixteenth notes. At that speed the sixteenth notes are the whole difficulty, so the room will take it down to a quarter of it and climb back.

Is We Own The Night hard to play on drums?

47 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 42 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

145 bars, about 3:13 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 33 exercises over 9 sittings, about 27 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 We Own The Night?

6 fills to learn, played 24 times: bars 17, 18, 19, 20, 25, 26 and 18 more.
