THE BEAT

One bar, and 10% of the song

The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 13, 27 and 29-30, and 3 more places -- 9.7% 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 With Regards Official?

110 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 With Regards Official hard to play on drums?

67 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 57 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

103 bars, about 3:44 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 41 exercises over 15 sittings, about 25 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 With Regards Official?

16 fills to learn, played 54 times: bars 9, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18 and 48 more.
