Questions

What BPM is LA Devotee?

176 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth notes. At that speed the sixteenth notes are the whole difficulty, so the room will take it down to a quarter of it and climb back.

Is LA Devotee hard to play on drums?

73 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 58 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

139 bars, about 3:10 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 17 exercises over 7 sittings, about 23 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot. That is most of a full kit; the part moves around it rather than sitting in one place.

How many fills are in LA Devotee?

6 fills to learn, played 8 times: bars 20, 28, 44, 76, 92, 132 and 2 more.
