Questions

What BPM is Au bout de mes rêves?

128 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 Au bout de mes rêves hard to play on drums?

47 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 32 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

112 bars, about 3:30 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 23 exercises over 6 sittings, about 28 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, hi-hat, snare, 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 Au bout de mes rêves?

5 fills to learn, played 13 times: bars 8, 16, 25, 31, 37, 54 and 7 more.
