One bar, and 31% of the song

Questions

What BPM is 4D?

146 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 4D hard to play on drums?

62 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 44 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

145 bars, about 3:58 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 52 exercises over 13 sittings, about 30 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, 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 4D?

14 fills to learn, played 51 times: bars 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24 and 45 more.
