Questions

What BPM is Marquee Moon?

118 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 Marquee Moon hard to play on drums?

51 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 29 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

313 bars, about 10:34 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 92 exercises over 26 sittings, about 26 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 Marquee Moon?

24 fills to learn, played 64 times: bars 12, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36 and 58 more.
