Questions

What BPM is Le Risque?

150 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 Le Risque hard to play on drums?

66 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 44 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

134 bars, about 3:34 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 27 exercises over 9 sittings, about 25 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, 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 Le Risque?

4 fills to learn, played 12 times: bars 9, 17, 27, 31, 35, 39 and 6 more.
