Questions

What BPM is High Road Easy?

88 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 High Road Easy hard to play on drums?

56 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 44 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

90 bars, about 3:59 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 32 exercises over 10 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.

How many fills are in High Road Easy?

9 fills to learn, played 26 times: bars 8, 15, 22, 23, 27, 34 and 20 more.
