Questions

What BPM is Glamorous Sky?

148 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 Glamorous Sky hard to play on drums?

52 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in 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?

160 bars, about 4:19 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 59 exercises over 16 sittings, about 27 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 Glamorous Sky?

13 fills to learn, played 26 times: bars 19, 27, 28, 29, 30, 56 and 20 more.
