Questions

What BPM is Burning Town?

120 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second 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 Burning Town hard to play on drums?

73 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 61 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

56 bars, about 1:52 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 20 exercises over 7 sittings, about 26 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 Burning Town?

6 fills to learn, played 25 times: bars 6, 7, 8, 11, 12, 16 and 19 more.
