Questions

What BPM is 3412?

198 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 3412 hard to play on drums?

67 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 53 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

22 bars, about 0:26 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 11 exercises over 4 sittings, about 22 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, 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 3412?

5 fills to learn, played 7 times: bars 2, 4, 6, 7, 8, 17 and 1 more.
