Questions

What BPM is Kaamos?

120 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 Kaamos hard to play on drums?

8 out of 100: straightforward, and the one thing to watch is how much of it falls off the beat.

How long is the drum part?

142 bars, about 4:44 at the written tempo. The course takes it in a single sitting of 4 exercises.

What do I need on the kit?

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