Questions

What BPM is Decadence Dance?

110 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 Decadence Dance hard to play on drums?

47 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 30 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

192 bars, about 6:59 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 72 exercises over 18 sittings, about 28 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, 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 Decadence Dance?

19 fills to learn, played 40 times: bars 24, 25, 33, 52, 53, 54 and 34 more.
