Questions

What BPM is Euphoria?

85 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 Euphoria hard to play on drums?

74 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 50 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

111 bars, about 5:11 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 50 exercises over 20 sittings, about 24 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 Euphoria?

9 fills to learn, played 13 times: bars 39, 48, 49, 51, 56, 57 and 7 more.
