Questions

What BPM is Acquiesce?

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 Acquiesce hard to play on drums?

47 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 30 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

116 bars, about 4:13 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 17 exercises over 5 sittings, about 25 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, 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 Acquiesce?

4 fills to learn, played 14 times: bars 9, 17, 25, 31, 34, 35 and 8 more.
