Questions

What BPM is Beautiful Mistake?

155 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second notes. At that speed the thirty-second notes are the whole difficulty, so the room will take it down to a quarter of it and climb back.

Is Beautiful Mistake hard to play on drums?

74 out of 100: demanding, mostly on how much of it falls off the beat. The beat itself is 55 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

181 bars, about 4:40 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 55 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 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 Beautiful Mistake?

12 fills to learn, played 38 times: bars 9, 15, 17, 33, 37, 39 and 32 more.
