Questions

What BPM is 5/12/26?

73 BPM, in 3/4, with the time kept in sixteenth notes. Slow enough to hear every mistake, which is why the room lets you sit at the written tempo rather than under it.

Is 5/12/26 hard to play on drums?

45 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 32 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

16 bars, about 0:43 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 5 exercises over 2 sittings, about 22 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, 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 5/12/26?

1 fill to learn, played 5 times: bars 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12.
