Questions

What BPM is Brandy Wine?

200 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 Brandy Wine hard to play on drums?

67 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 56 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

169 bars, about 3:07 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 41 exercises over 16 sittings, about 23 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, 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 Brandy Wine?

7 fills to learn, played 12 times: bars 10, 18, 46, 54, 81, 82 and 6 more.
