Questions

What BPM is free time?

190 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth notes. At that speed the sixteenth notes are the whole difficulty, so the room will take it down to a quarter of it and climb back.

Is free time hard to play on drums?

77 out of 100: demanding, mostly on how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 75 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

41 bars, about 0:48 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 16 exercises over 7 sittings, about 22 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, 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 free time?

1 fill to learn, played 5 times: bars 39, 40, 41, 42 and 43.
