THE BEAT

One bar, and 23% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 29-35, 37-42 and 78-83, and 3 more places -- 23% 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 Whispering Sign?

230 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 Whispering Sign hard to play on drums?

83 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 78 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

208 bars, about 3:37 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 76 exercises over 23 sittings, about 26 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid 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 Whispering Sign?

20 fills to learn, played 40 times: bars 7, 8, 12, 15, 16, 17 and 34 more.
