Questions

What BPM is For Elise Metal Version?

135 BPM, in 3/4, 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 For Elise Metal Version hard to play on drums?

100 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 78 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

131 bars, about 2:54 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 40 exercises over 15 sittings, about 25 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, 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 For Elise Metal Version?

6 fills to learn, played 13 times: bars 45, 49, 53, 54, 55, 56 and 7 more.
