Notes From John
BPM = 158, in 4/4. The Intro is marked f and starts with a bar marked “stick clicks/loud countoff”, then hat quarters with the snare on the backbeat over kick figures, a “loosen” mark and a snare sixteenth fill marked “hi-hats very loose”. Verse 1 at 0:26 is marked mf and “hi-hats normal”, with “splash” marks, circle marks over some hat notes and an accented snare sixteenth fill into the Chorus. The Choruses are marked f and “hi-hats very loose”, with the hat and snare together on many beats over kick quarters, and the Verses return to “hi-hats normal”. The Interlude is an eight-bar rest, then a fermata and an accented snare hit. The Solo has hat quarters with the snare on the backbeat, Verse 3 is marked mf and the last Chorus f. The Outro ends on crash hits with “R L R L R” sticking.
For the player
Count off loud on the stick clicks, as printed. At BPM = 158 the job is the feel.
