Questions

What BPM is Drag Path (NEW)?

95 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 Drag Path (NEW) hard to play on drums?

61 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 27 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

74 bars, about 3:03 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 22 exercises over 8 sittings, about 23 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, snare, high tom, mid 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 Drag Path (NEW)?

3 fills to learn, played 5 times: bars 50, 58, 66, 70 and 74.
