Questions

What BPM is Elitist Ones?

150 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 Elitist Ones hard to play on drums?

73 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 39 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

175 bars, about 4:39 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 72 exercises over 23 sittings, about 26 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 Elitist Ones?

23 fills to learn, played 47 times: bars 4, 11, 12, 16, 19, 20 and 41 more.
