Questions

What BPM is Changing Seasons?

80 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 Changing Seasons hard to play on drums?

54 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how fine the subdivision is. The beat itself is 49 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

56 bars, about 2:48 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 4 exercises over 2 sittings, about 24 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom and kick. That is most of a full kit; the part moves around it rather than sitting in one place.
