Questions

What BPM is Apartment 213?

105 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 Apartment 213 hard to play on drums?

76 out of 100: demanding, mostly on how much of it falls off the beat. The beat itself is 51 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

87 bars, about 3:19 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 38 exercises over 14 sittings, about 27 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 Apartment 213?

18 fills to learn, played 50 times: bars 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8 and 44 more.
