Questions

What BPM is Brompton Cocktail?

150 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 Brompton Cocktail hard to play on drums?

51 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 38 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

151 bars, about 4:11 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 42 exercises over 11 sittings, about 27 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 Brompton Cocktail?

8 fills to learn, played 14 times: bars 46, 54, 62, 78, 86, 94 and 8 more.
