Questions

What BPM is A Company?

185 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 A Company hard to play on drums?

56 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 23 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

138 bars, about 2:59 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 15 exercises over 5 sittings, about 24 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare and kick. Nothing in the part asks for anything else.
