THE BEAT

One bar, and 18% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 9-11, 13-15 and 19-21, and 7 more places -- 18.1% 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 Without Your Touch?

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 Without Your Touch hard to play on drums?

51 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 13 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

162 bars, about 3:49 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 55 exercises over 16 sittings, about 24 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, 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 Without Your Touch?

12 fills to learn, played 19 times: bars 4, 8, 12, 18, 40, 44 and 13 more.
