Questions

What BPM is Magasin?

105 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 Magasin hard to play on drums?

53 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 31 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

115 bars, about 4:23 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 18 exercises over 5 sittings, about 25 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, hi-hat, snare, high 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 Magasin?

3 fills to learn, played 12 times: bars 26, 27, 36, 49, 50, 59 and 6 more.
