Questions

What BPM is Altes Fieber?

130 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 Altes Fieber hard to play on drums?

38 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 21 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

114 bars, about 3:30 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 26 exercises over 6 sittings, about 28 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, 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 Altes Fieber?

8 fills to learn, played 13 times: bars 30, 32, 64, 72, 74, 76 and 7 more.
