Questions

What BPM is Gfc?

100 BPM, in 3/4, 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 Gfc hard to play on drums?

58 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how much of it falls off the beat. The beat itself is 47 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

89 bars, about 3:01 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 27 exercises over 9 sittings, about 23 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 Gfc?

7 fills to learn, played 25 times: bars 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 and 19 more.
