Questions

What BPM is Dallas 1PM?

132 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 Dallas 1PM hard to play on drums?

54 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 37 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

207 bars, about 6:16 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 16 exercises over 5 sittings, about 26 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, 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 Dallas 1PM?

5 fills to learn, played 19 times: bars 32, 33, 34, 37, 38, 42 and 13 more.
