Questions

What BPM is lamb of balkan?

200 BPM, in 3/4, 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 lamb of balkan hard to play on drums?

87 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 85 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

146 bars, about 2:33 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 50 exercises over 17 sittings, about 25 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

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

How many fills are in lamb of balkan?

12 fills to learn, played 30 times: bars 6, 18, 19, 21, 22, 24 and 24 more.
