Questions

What BPM is Layla?

133 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second 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 Layla hard to play on drums?

79 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 65 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

130 bars, about 3:48 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 46 exercises over 16 sittings, about 26 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 Layla?

12 fills to learn, played 39 times: bars 1, 2, 3, 4, 9, 26 and 33 more.
