Questions

What BPM is Brand New Man?

127 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 Brand New Man 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 34 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

90 bars, about 2:50 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 20 exercises over 6 sittings, about 26 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, 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 Brand New Man?

8 fills to learn, played 17 times: bars 1, 7, 27, 33, 53, 59 and 11 more.
