THE BEAT

One bar, and 24% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 21-23, 25-27 and 35, and 7 more places -- 24.1% 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 You?

118 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 You hard to play on drums?

50 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 29 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

95 bars, about 3:13 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 38 exercises over 10 sittings, about 25 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, 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 You?

10 fills to learn, played 17 times: bars 20, 24, 28, 30, 32, 42 and 11 more.
