Questions

What BPM is Inamorata?

121 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 Inamorata hard to play on drums?

57 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 37 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

334 bars, about 11:00 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 59 exercises over 17 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 Inamorata?

12 fills to learn, played 33 times: bars 35, 36, 52, 56, 60, 76 and 27 more.
