THE BEAT

One bar, and 13% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 2-3, 6-8 and 10-11, and 5 more places -- 12.9% 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 Who Am I/Who I am?

186 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 Who Am I/Who I am hard to play on drums?

74 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 60 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

155 bars, about 3:15 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 59 exercises over 20 sittings, about 23 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 Who Am I/Who I am?

16 fills to learn, played 29 times: bars 5, 9, 13, 17, 21, 29 and 23 more.
