Questions

What BPM is Ja Sum Ti Prijatel?

Is Ja Sum Ti Prijatel hard to play on drums?

60 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 57 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

95 bars, about 5:04 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 12 exercises over 3 sittings, about 29 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare and kick. Nothing in the part asks for anything else.
