THE BEAT

One bar, and 25% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 9-24, 41-48 and 65-71, and 1 more place -- 25% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

Questions

What BPM is Zwitter?

160 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 Zwitter hard to play on drums?

57 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 40 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

170 bars, about 4:15 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 23 exercises over 6 sittings, about 25 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 Zwitter?

6 fills to learn, played 14 times: bars 8, 40, 64, 72, 88, 108 and 8 more.
