What BPM is Alrighty Aphrodite?

82 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 Alrighty Aphrodite hard to play on drums?

68 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 34 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

70 bars, about 3:25 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 30 exercises over 11 sittings, about 24 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot. That is most of a full kit; the part moves around it rather than sitting in one place.

How many fills are in Alrighty Aphrodite?

11 fills to learn, played 25 times: bars 8, 12, 20, 26, 28, 29 and 19 more.
