Questions

What BPM is Beautiful And Strange?

100 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 Beautiful And Strange hard to play on drums?

91 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 68 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

100 bars, about 3:53 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 48 exercises over 19 sittings, about 24 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 Beautiful And Strange?

17 fills to learn, played 43 times: bars 13, 17, 21, 25, 26, 27 and 37 more.
