Questions

What BPM is Adieu?

125 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 Adieu hard to play on drums?

41 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with the independence between the hands and the feet the part that decides it. The beat itself is 35 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

142 bars, about 4:33 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 28 exercises over 6 sittings, about 29 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid 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 Adieu?

5 fills to learn, played 12 times: bars 17, 18, 27, 56, 64, 89 and 6 more.
