Questions

What BPM is Echoes - Live at Pompeii?

58 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second notes. Slow enough to hear every mistake, which is why the room lets you sit at the written tempo rather than under it.

50 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how fine the subdivision is. The beat itself is 33 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

298 bars, about 20:32 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 35 exercises over 10 sittings, about 25 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 Echoes - Live at Pompeii?

1 fill to learn, played 3 times: bars 34, 54 and 249.
