Questions

What BPM is AMAZING!?

145 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 AMAZING! hard to play on drums?

33 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 0 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

139 bars, about 3:50 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 43 exercises over 11 sittings, about 27 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, hi-hat, snare, 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 AMAZING!?

12 fills to learn, played 27 times: bars 20, 28, 33, 35, 36, 52 and 21 more.
