Questions

What BPM is Lakeside Park?

189 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 Lakeside Park hard to play on drums?

51 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?

190 bars, about 4:01 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 39 exercises over 9 sittings, about 29 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, 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 Lakeside Park?

12 fills to learn, played 23 times: bars 1, 2, 26, 42, 50, 51 and 17 more.
