Questions

What BPM is ストラトキャスター・シーサイド?

157 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second notes. At that speed the thirty-second notes are the whole difficulty, so the room will take it down to a quarter of it and climb back.

Is ストラトキャスター・シーサイド hard to play on drums?

80 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 58 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

125 bars, about 3:10 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 48 exercises over 16 sittings, about 25 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot. That is most of a full kit; the part moves around it rather than sitting in one place.

How many fills are in ストラトキャスター・シーサイド?

12 fills to learn, played 22 times: bars 5, 9, 17, 29, 57, 58 and 16 more.
