Questions

What BPM is Concorde?

65 BPM, in 3/4, with the time kept in thirty-second notes. Slow enough to hear every mistake, which is why the room lets you sit at the written tempo rather than under it.

Is Concorde hard to play on drums?

62 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 21 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

125 bars, about 5:46 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 46 exercises over 15 sittings, about 25 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, 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 Concorde?

7 fills to learn, played 15 times: bars 28, 36, 37, 54, 64, 108 and 9 more.
