Questions

What BPM is Angels?

76 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 Angels hard to play on drums?

44 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with how often it moves around the kit the part that decides it. The beat itself is 33 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

79 bars, about 4:09 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 29 exercises over 7 sittings, about 26 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 Angels?

9 fills to learn, played 17 times: bars 19, 23, 26, 29, 42, 43 and 11 more.
