THE BEAT

One bar, and 11% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 10-12, 15-16 and 109-110, and 1 more place -- 10.6% 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 Else?

68 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth notes. Slow enough to hear every mistake, which is why the room lets you sit at the written tempo rather than under it.

Is Who Else hard to play on drums?

44 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with the independence between the hands and the feet the part that decides it. The beat itself is 14 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

154 bars, about 9:04 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 52 exercises over 14 sittings, about 27 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, 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 Else?

11 fills to learn, played 32 times: bars 17, 26, 27, 28, 29, 41 and 26 more.
