Questions

What BPM is Eeyore?

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

Is Eeyore hard to play on drums?

88 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 77 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

139 bars, about 2:16 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 51 exercises over 20 sittings, about 23 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 Eeyore?

10 fills to learn, played 25 times: bars 42, 45, 46, 50, 56, 64 and 19 more.
