Questions

What BPM is Body Behavior?

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

Is Body Behavior hard to play on drums?

71 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 81 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

207 bars, about 5:01 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 63 exercises over 19 sittings, about 25 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, 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 Body Behavior?

18 fills to learn, played 62 times: bars 1, 2, 4, 6, 13, 14 and 56 more.
