Questions

What BPM is Dance Big Trupy Dance?

165 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second notes. At that speed the thirty-second notes are the whole difficulty, so the room will take it down to a quarter of it and climb back.

Is Dance Big Trupy Dance hard to play on drums?

74 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 35 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

142 bars, about 3:24 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 67 exercises over 22 sittings, about 26 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 Dance Big Trupy Dance?

12 fills to learn, played 14 times: bars 16, 20, 24, 28, 58, 68 and 8 more.
