Questions

What BPM is Diamond?

112 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 Diamond hard to play on drums?

38 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with the independence between the hands and the feet the part that decides it. The beat itself is 17 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

168 bars, about 6:10 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 10 exercises over 3 sittings, about 21 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid 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 Diamond?

4 fills to learn, played 4 times: bars 85, 88, 91 and 94.
