THE BEAT

One bar, and 21% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 14-16, 18-20 and 34-36, and 3 more places -- 20.5% 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 Young Lust?

95 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 Young Lust 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 28 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

83 bars, about 3:28 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 28 exercises over 7 sittings, about 28 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 Young Lust?

5 fills to learn, played 10 times: bars 13, 17, 21, 37, 41, 53 and 4 more.
