THE BEAT

One bar, and 13% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 26, 28 and 33, and 7 more places -- 13.1% 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 White Noise?

170 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 White Noise hard to play on drums?

61 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 34 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

161 bars, about 3:47 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 59 exercises over 17 sittings, about 26 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 White Noise?

21 fills to learn, played 54 times: bars 10, 11, 12, 14, 15, 16 and 48 more.
