Questions

What BPM is Hide and Seek?

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 Hide and Seek hard to play on drums?

67 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 70 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

83 bars, about 2:45 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 35 exercises over 12 sittings, about 25 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.

10 fills to learn, played 26 times: bars 23, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29 and 20 more.
