Description
Notes From John
BPM = 145, in 4/4. The Intro is marked f, with crash-and-kick hits and snare and tom notes between them, closing on a grace-note figure. Verse 1 is hat eighths with open-hat circles, snare backbeats, bracketed snare notes and grace-note figures before many snare strokes. The Pre-Choruses carry accented hat notes and close on mp bars with crossed-circle and open-hat marks under a crescendo hairpin to the f Chorus. The first Chorus at 0:43 closes on snare sixteenths and a short stop. The Bridge carries the same mp-to-f hairpin into the Solo, the Re-Intro at 2:31 repeats the f Intro hits, and the Interlude and Outro return to the Verse groove with bracketed snares and sixteenth fills before the final crash. The section boxes carry the record’s timestamps.
For the player
Charlie Allen Martin plays drums on the track. Take the Pre-Chorus hairpins from mp up to f, as marked, and leave the bracketed snares quieter than the backbeat. At BPM = 145 the job is the feel.
