Notes From John
BPM = 111, swung, in 4/4. The Intro is eighth-note hi-hat over kick and snare, ending on a crash and a buzz roll. Verse 1 under “For the benefit…” moves to open hi-hat on the beats, then to snare with the hat, and ends on the same crash and roll. Verse 2 under “The celebrated Mr. …” repeats the shape and closes on eighth-note snare. The Instrumental switches to 3/4 at ♩ = 164 with the hi-hat on beats two and three and accents at its end. One 4/4 bar at ♩ = 111 with a triplet pickup leads into Verse 3 under “The band begins…”, and the second Instrumental returns to open hi-hat on the beats to a last crash.
For the player
Ringo Starr plays drums on the track. Count the 3/4 Instrumental at ♩ = 164 in bars of three. At BPM = 111 the job is the feel.
Drums Sheet Music for “Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite!” by The Beatles.
