Questions

What BPM is Marciano?

109 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 Marciano hard to play on drums?

71 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 46 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

67 bars, about 2:28 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 32 exercises over 11 sittings, about 25 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 Marciano?

6 fills to learn, played 7 times: bars 17, 32, 35, 51, 61, 65 and 1 more.
