Questions

What BPM is 2301?

135 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second notes. The room plays it at any tempo from a quarter of that up to the written one, against the record where the record can follow.

Is 2301 hard to play on drums?

77 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 47 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

143 bars, about 4:14 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 39 exercises over 13 sittings, about 25 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, 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 2301?

6 fills to learn, played 13 times: bars 1, 21, 25, 33, 43, 44 and 7 more.
