THE BEAT

One bar, and 6% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 96-105 and 107 -- 5.9% 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 When you were beggars?

180 BPM, in 4/4, 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 When you were beggars hard to play on drums?

59 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 12 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

193 bars, about 4:23 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 80 exercises over 25 sittings, about 24 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 When you were beggars?

17 fills to learn, played 32 times: bars 20, 21, 29, 42, 50, 51 and 26 more.
