Questions

What BPM is Airbag?

83 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 Airbag hard to play on drums?

42 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 25 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

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.

How many fills are in Airbag?

7 fills to learn, played 16 times: bars 29, 33, 43, 57, 58, 62 and 10 more.
