Questions

What BPM is Air Pollution?

85 BPM, in 4/4, 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 Air Pollution hard to play on drums?

70 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 54 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

24 bars, about 1:08 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 6 exercises over 3 sittings, about 21 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

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.
