Questions

What BPM is Foxglove?

104 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 Foxglove hard to play on drums?

47 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 19 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

94 bars, about 3:37 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 22 exercises over 6 sittings, about 25 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 Foxglove?

2 fills to learn, played 4 times: bars 25, 46, 70 and 86.
