Questions

What BPM is Cherish The Day?

80 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 Cherish The Day hard to play on drums?

77 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 64 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

110 bars, about 5:30 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 5 exercises over 4 sittings, about 18 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, hi-hat, snare, 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.
