One bar, and 20% of the song

Questions

What BPM is Digital Bath?

92 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second 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 Digital Bath hard to play on drums?

78 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 43 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

94 bars, about 4:03 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 34 exercises over 12 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 Digital Bath?

8 fills to learn, played 14 times: bars 1, 5, 13, 17, 20, 21 and 8 more.
