Questions

What BPM is Cohkka?

70 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth notes. Slow enough to hear every mistake, which is why the room lets you sit at the written tempo rather than under it.

Is Cohkka hard to play on drums?

50 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how much of it falls off the beat. The beat itself is 27 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

77 bars, about 4:24 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 17 exercises over 7 sittings, about 23 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare and kick. Nothing in the part asks for anything else.

How many fills are in Cohkka?

1 fill to learn, played 1 time: bar 77.
