Questions

What BPM is 5 Minutes Alone?

96 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 5 Minutes Alone hard to play on drums?

64 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 40 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

140 bars, about 5:48 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 41 exercises over 11 sittings, about 28 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, 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 5 Minutes Alone?

13 fills to learn, played 30 times: bars 1, 5, 9, 15, 18, 22 and 24 more.
