THE BEAT

One bar, and 19% of the song

The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 33-36, 41-44 and 64, and 6 more places -- 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 Yava!?

192 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 Yava! hard to play on drums?

54 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 49 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

177 bars, about 3:41 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 64 exercises over 17 sittings, about 27 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, hi-hat, snare, high tom, 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 Yava!?

13 fills to learn, played 22 times: bars 8, 15, 16, 56, 58, 62 and 16 more.
