Questions

What BPM is Con So Khong?

90 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 Con So Khong hard to play on drums?

60 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 56 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

125 bars, about 5:29 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 30 exercises over 8 sittings, about 28 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

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

How many fills are in Con So Khong?

10 fills to learn, played 19 times: bars 9, 17, 27, 38, 42, 48 and 13 more.
