Questions

What BPM is Dejavu?

150 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 Dejavu hard to play on drums?

75 out of 100: demanding, mostly on how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 66 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

146 bars, about 3:54 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 37 exercises over 11 sittings, about 26 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 Dejavu?

16 fills to learn, played 42 times: bars 1, 2, 3, 7, 11, 15 and 36 more.
