THE BEAT

One bar, and 10% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 13-14, 16-18 and 20-22, and 1 more place -- 10.2% 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 WHBtC?

199 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 WHBtC hard to play on drums?

80 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 99 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

113 bars, about 2:14 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 38 exercises over 16 sittings, about 23 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, floor tom and kick. That is most of a full kit; the part moves around it rather than sitting in one place.

How many fills are in WHBtC?

8 fills to learn, played 15 times: bars 1, 2, 4, 5, 15, 23 and 9 more.
