Questions

What BPM is Animal Magnetism?

90 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second 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 Magnetism hard to play on drums?

39 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 16 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

132 bars, about 5:52 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 11 exercises over 3 sittings, about 29 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 Animal Magnetism?

1 fill to learn, played 1 time: bar 127.
