Notes From John
BPM = 112, in 4/4, with a printed change to quarter = 96 after the second Chorus. The Intro, Verse 1 and first Chorus are hi-hat figures of eighths and sixteenths with one-bar repeats, and the Chorus closes on a single crash and rests before the hat figure returns. Verse 2 at 0:49 adds kick quarters, and the second Chorus keeps them, closing on a crash-and-kick hit at quarter = 96 and a bar of rest. The Alt Intro at 1:24 opens with a 2-bar rest, then brings in the kick, snare and hi-hat eighths with a crash. The Alt Verse follows the same groove, and the Alt Chorus has crashes, circle and crossed-circle marks over the hat notes and a bracketed snare note. It ends on two crash-and-kick hits with rests between them. The section boxes carry the record’s timestamps.
For the player
Steve Ferrone plays drums on the track. Add the kick quarters at Verse 2 and the snare at the Alt Intro, as printed. At BPM = 112 the job is the feel.
