Questions

What BPM is Fire Bird?

160 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth notes. At that speed the sixteenth notes are the whole difficulty, so the room will take it down to a quarter of it and climb back.

Is Fire Bird hard to play on drums?

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

How long is the drum part?

182 bars, about 4:36 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 46 exercises over 14 sittings, about 26 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 Fire Bird?

26 fills to learn, played 79 times: bars 6, 7, 8, 9, 18, 19 and 73 more.
