Questions

What BPM is Human Sandbags?

125 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 Human Sandbags hard to play on drums?

93 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 86 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

179 bars, about 5:07 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 55 exercises over 22 sittings, about 25 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, 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 Human Sandbags?

17 fills to learn, played 47 times: bars 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 41 more.
