Questions

What BPM is Experiment?

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 Experiment hard to play on drums?

72 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 87 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

202 bars, about 4:59 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 64 exercises over 23 sittings, about 24 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 Experiment?

3 fills to learn, played 4 times: bars 81, 82, 157 and 213.
