Questions

What BPM is Mary?

105 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 Mary hard to play on drums?

79 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 55 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

96 bars, about 3:38 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 28 exercises over 10 sittings, about 24 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, hi-hat, snare, high tom, 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 Mary?

6 fills to learn, played 9 times: bars 8, 17, 19, 37, 39, 42 and 3 more.
