Questions

What BPM is Main Serong?

154 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 Main Serong hard to play on drums?

60 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how fine the subdivision is. The beat itself is 39 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

155 bars, about 4:02 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 57 exercises over 15 sittings, about 29 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 Main Serong?

14 fills to learn, played 29 times: bars 14, 22, 26, 28, 32, 42 and 23 more.
