Questions

What BPM is 3?

150 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth 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 hard to play on drums?

66 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 32 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

184 bars, about 4:35 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 45 exercises over 14 sittings, about 24 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

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

How many fills are in 3?

13 fills to learn, played 14 times: bars 48, 57, 65, 73, 81, 90 and 8 more.
