Questions

What BPM is 2 LITER SPITE?

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

Is 2 LITER SPITE hard to play on drums?

45 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 26 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

148 bars, about 3:00 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 52 exercises over 13 sittings, about 26 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, hi-hat, snare, 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 2 LITER SPITE?

10 fills to learn, played 14 times: bars 47, 60, 76, 84, 86, 88 and 8 more.
