Questions

What BPM is Baba Yaga?

142 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 Baba Yaga hard to play on drums?

64 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?

176 bars, about 4:56 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 61 exercises over 19 sittings, about 26 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 Baba Yaga?

17 fills to learn, played 23 times: bars 12, 16, 20, 22, 24, 26 and 17 more.
