Questions

What BPM is Hearteater?

146 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 Hearteater hard to play on drums?

60 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 25 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

187 bars, about 5:07 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 63 exercises over 21 sittings, about 25 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 Hearteater?

14 fills to learn, played 17 times: bars 25, 26, 34, 38, 42, 48 and 11 more.
