Questions

What BPM is A Gallant Gentleman?

110 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 A Gallant Gentleman hard to play on drums?

15 out of 100: straightforward, and the one thing to watch is how often it moves around the kit. The beat itself is 10 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

44 bars, about 1:36 at the written tempo. The course takes it in a single sitting of 3 exercises.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, floor tom and kick. That is most of a full kit; the part moves around it rather than sitting in one place.
