Questions

What BPM is Foule Sentimentale?

112 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 Foule Sentimentale hard to play on drums?

55 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 39 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

147 bars, about 5:15 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 15 exercises over 5 sittings, about 23 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 Foule Sentimentale?

5 fills to learn, played 10 times: bars 25, 39, 55, 69, 85, 99 and 4 more.
