Questions

What BPM is Attention?

100 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 Attention 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 42 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

85 bars, about 3:24 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 9 exercises over 2 sittings, about 31 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare and kick. Nothing in the part asks for anything else.
