Questions

What BPM is Cobra?

118 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 Cobra hard to play on drums?

65 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 33 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

92 bars, about 3:07 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 15 exercises over 5 sittings, about 24 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, 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 Cobra?

1 fill to learn, played 1 time: bar 73.
