Questions

What BPM is Animal Instinct?

132 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 Animal Instinct hard to play on drums?

45 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 30 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

112 bars, about 3:24 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 11 exercises over 4 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 Animal Instinct?

5 fills to learn, played 13 times: bars 8, 12, 24, 32, 36, 40 and 7 more.
