Questions

What BPM is Caramel?

94 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 Caramel hard to play on drums?

83 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how much of it falls off the beat. The beat itself is 41 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

93 bars, about 3:57 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 22 exercises over 12 sittings, about 20 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 Caramel?

5 fills to learn, played 45 times: bars 20, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35 and 39 more.
