Questions

What BPM is K.?

94 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 K. hard to play on drums?

35 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 24 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

121 bars, about 5:09 at the written tempo. The course takes it in a single sitting of 3 exercises.

What do I need on the kit?

ride, snare and kick. Three pieces and no more -- this one is playable on almost anything with a kick, a snare and something to keep time on.
