Questions

What BPM is Maniac?

108 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 Maniac hard to play on drums?

66 out of 100: demanding, mostly on how much of it falls off the beat. The beat itself is 67 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

81 bars, about 3:00 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 10 exercises over 3 sittings, about 23 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, hi-hat, snare, high tom, floor tom and kick. That is most of a full kit; the part moves around it rather than sitting in one place.

How many fills are in Maniac?

1 fill to learn, played 1 time: bar 69.
