Questions

What BPM is Last?

90 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 Last hard to play on drums?

68 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 39 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

106 bars, about 4:43 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 20 exercises over 7 sittings, about 23 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

hi-hat, snare, floor tom and kick. Nothing in the part asks for anything else.
