The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 8, 10 and 12, and 13 more places -- 23.2% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.
It is played on snare and mid tom, counted in sixteenth notes. On its own it scores 8 out of 100 -- straightforward -- and the thing that decides that is how much of it falls off the beat.
The whole song is 28 out of 100, so the beat is not the hard part: what costs you is everything around it, the joins and the fills.
The room opens this beat on its simplest reduction, at 53 BPM, and adds the notes back a rung at a time -- 3 of them. Nothing is a matter of opinion: each rung has a tempo to reach and a gate to pass before the next one.
Tempo goes 53, 61 and 70 BPM, and the gate at each one is 8 loops in a row with no wrong note and no wobble in the time.
PRACTISE THIS BEAT →A one-bar groove on snare and mid tom, in 4/4 at 70 BPM, counted in sixteenth notes. It is written out above, and it covers 23.2% of the bars the kit plays.
Bars 8, 10, 12 and 14, and 12 more places. The time is kept on the kick and crashes to start with, and it changes 5 times over the song.
8 out of 100 on its own -- straightforward. The song as a whole is 28 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with how often it moves around the kit the part that decides it.
