Questions

What BPM is HOLIDAY?

155 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth notes. At that speed the sixteenth notes are the whole difficulty, so the room will take it down to a quarter of it and climb back.

Is HOLIDAY hard to play on drums?

38 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with the independence between the hands and the feet the part that decides it. The beat itself is 6 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

110 bars, about 2:50 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 24 exercises over 6 sittings, about 27 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 HOLIDAY?

2 fills to learn, played 3 times: bars 33, 58 and 110.
