Questions

What BPM is Lambs?

138 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 Lambs hard to play on drums?

38 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 38 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

170 bars, about 4:53 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 51 exercises over 15 sittings, about 26 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, hi-hat, snare, 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 Lambs?

2 fills to learn, played 4 times: bars 160, 168, 169 and 170.
