Questions

What BPM is Eyes Seeing Eyes?

140 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 Eyes Seeing Eyes hard to play on drums?

39 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 22 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

133 bars, about 4:01 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 30 exercises over 7 sittings, about 26 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, 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 Eyes Seeing Eyes?

10 fills to learn, played 19 times: bars 20, 32, 36, 38, 40, 44 and 13 more.
