Questions

What BPM is Canon Rock?

90 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 Canon Rock hard to play on drums?

32 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with how often it moves around the kit the part that decides it. The beat itself is 11 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

212 bars, about 8:50 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 31 exercises over 8 sittings, about 24 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, 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 Canon Rock?

11 fills to learn, played 24 times: bars 16, 22, 24, 32, 48, 64 and 18 more.
