Questions

What BPM is Evon?

100 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth 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 Evon hard to play on drums?

38 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with the independence between the hands and the feet the part that decides it. The beat itself is 24 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

166 bars, about 6:43 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 42 exercises over 10 sittings, about 28 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, 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 Evon?

7 fills to learn, played 17 times: bars 17, 19, 21, 23, 25, 43 and 11 more.
