Questions

What BPM is Ah?

120 BPM, in 6/4, with the time kept in thirty-second 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 Ah hard to play on drums?

67 out of 100: demanding, mostly on how much of it falls off the beat. The beat itself is 56 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

100 bars, about 5:00 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 19 exercises over 7 sittings, about 21 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 Ah?

2 fills to learn, played 5 times: bars 4, 16, 36, 37 and 38.
