Questions

What BPM is Echoes?

195 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth notes. At that speed the sixteenth notes are the whole difficulty, so the room will take it down to a quarter of it and climb back.

Is Echoes hard to play on drums?

67 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 66 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

175 bars, about 3:35 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 35 exercises over 10 sittings, about 27 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor 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 Echoes?

9 fills to learn, played 33 times: bars 7, 8, 15, 16, 23, 24 and 27 more.
