Questions

What BPM is Dimensions?

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 Dimensions hard to play on drums?

65 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 57 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

206 bars, about 7:32 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 74 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 Dimensions?

19 fills to learn, played 87 times: bars 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 9 and 81 more.
