Questions

What BPM is 3 3 3 3 3?

132 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 3 3 3 3 3 hard to play on drums?

98 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 79 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

25 bars, about 0:45 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 7 exercises over 4 sittings, about 21 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, 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 3 3 3 3 3?

1 fill to learn, played 7 times: bars 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 1 more.
