Questions

What BPM is Garden Route?

120 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 Garden Route hard to play on drums?

68 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 33 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

178 bars, about 5:56 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 50 exercises over 16 sittings, about 26 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, 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 Garden Route?

21 fills to learn, played 47 times: bars 24, 32, 40, 48, 56, 58 and 41 more.
