Questions

What BPM is Marioneta v1?

75 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth notes. Slow enough to hear every mistake, which is why the room lets you sit at the written tempo rather than under it.

Is Marioneta v1 hard to play on drums?

39 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with the independence between the hands and the feet the part that decides it. The beat itself is 23 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

64 bars, about 3:25 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 25 exercises over 5 sittings, about 30 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, mid 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 Marioneta v1?

12 fills to learn, played 18 times: bars 6, 11, 13, 17, 27, 31 and 12 more.
