Questions

What BPM is Amore?

176 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth notes. At that speed the sixteenth notes are the whole difficulty, so the room will take it down to a quarter of it and climb back.

Is Amore hard to play on drums?

79 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 69 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

218 bars, about 4:56 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 60 exercises over 16 sittings, about 28 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, 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.

How many fills are in Amore?

24 fills to learn, played 68 times: bars 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 33 and 62 more.
