Questions

What BPM is Mary Had A Little Lamb?

125 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 Mary Had A Little Lamb hard to play on drums?

57 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 36 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

85 bars, about 2:43 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 5 exercises over 3 sittings, about 17 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, hi-hat, snare, mid 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 Mary Had A Little Lamb?

1 fill to learn, played 5 times: bars 33, 41, 65, 73 and 85.
