THE BEAT

One bar, and 17% of the song

The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 29-44 and 161-176 -- 16.7% 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 Zero Tolerance?

164 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second notes. At that speed the thirty-second notes are the whole difficulty, so the room will take it down to a quarter of it and climb back.

Is Zero Tolerance hard to play on drums?

75 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 42 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

192 bars, about 4:41 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 63 exercises over 21 sittings, about 26 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 Zero Tolerance?

10 fills to learn, played 24 times: bars 26, 53, 61, 62, 64, 66 and 18 more.
