Questions

What BPM is 34. Flower Man?

160 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 34. Flower Man hard to play on drums?

77 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 71 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

128 bars, about 3:12 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 29 exercises over 9 sittings, about 25 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 34. Flower Man?

11 fills to learn, played 23 times: bars 8, 16, 24, 31, 32, 40 and 17 more.
