Description
Notes From John
BPM = 172. It opens on kick and crash with a light touch, then snare and hat on two and three. Sections turn around on three straight kicks. The last chorus adds quick snare pickups. The outro slows into open hats over the kick.
For the player
It’s a waltz, so let beat one carry the bar. Keep the snare and hat light so the voices stay on top. Push the three-kick turnarounds without getting louder. Save the energy for the last chorus. Bark the opens. Hit it cold. At BPM = 172 the job is the feel.
