Questions

What BPM is Face To Face?

110 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 Face To Face hard to play on drums?

67 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 46 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

107 bars, about 3:52 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 34 exercises over 10 sittings, about 27 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, hi-hat, snare, 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 Face To Face?

5 fills to learn, played 9 times: bars 20, 28, 29, 41, 49, 75 and 3 more.
