THE BEAT

One bar, and 19% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 59-64, 67-73 and 76 -- 18.9% 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 WIRED?

150 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth notes. The room plays it at any tempo from a quarter of that up to the written one, against the record where the record can follow.

Is WIRED hard to play on drums?

52 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 31 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

85 bars, about 2:23 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 26 exercises over 7 sittings, about 28 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, hi-hat, snare, 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 WIRED?

7 fills to learn, played 18 times: bars 20, 21, 22, 47, 48, 49 and 12 more.
