Questions

What BPM is FREE!?

125 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 FREE! hard to play on drums?

68 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 45 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

118 bars, about 3:47 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 47 exercises over 16 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 FREE!?

4 fills to learn, played 8 times: bars 5, 27, 28, 51, 52, 54 and 2 more.
