Questions

What BPM is Migraine?

120 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 Migraine hard to play on drums?

64 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 52 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

124 bars, about 4:08 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 28 exercises over 9 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 Migraine?

4 fills to learn, played 10 times: bars 61, 101, 111, 112, 113, 114 and 4 more.
