Questions

What BPM is Flipping?

117 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 Flipping hard to play on drums?

63 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 41 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

88 bars, about 2:59 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 24 exercises over 7 sittings, about 27 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, hi-hat, snare, 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 Flipping?

8 fills to learn, played 22 times: bars 1, 2, 3, 4, 8, 12 and 16 more.
