Questions

What BPM is Band Thingy 10?

131 BPM, in 8/4, 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 Band Thingy 10 hard to play on drums?

55 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 50 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

61 bars, about 3:26 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 23 exercises over 8 sittings, about 25 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, 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 Band Thingy 10?

4 fills to learn, played 29 times: bars 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19 and 23 more.
