Questions

What BPM is Electricity?

124 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second 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 Electricity hard to play on drums?

49 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how fine the subdivision is. The beat itself is 40 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

33 bars, about 1:04 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 3 exercises over 2 sittings, about 16 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, hi-hat, snare and kick. Nothing in the part asks for anything else.
