Questions

What BPM is Gasoline?

154 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 Gasoline hard to play on drums?

38 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with the independence between the hands and the feet the part that decides it. The beat itself is 32 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

113 bars, about 2:56 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 33 exercises over 7 sittings, about 29 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 Gasoline?

10 fills to learn, played 19 times: bars 16, 24, 32, 36, 37, 48 and 13 more.
