Questions

What BPM is Mile Zero?

145 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 Mile Zero hard to play on drums?

56 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 43 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

183 bars, about 5:01 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 47 exercises over 14 sittings, about 27 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 Mile Zero?

15 fills to learn, played 41 times: bars 15, 23, 25, 39, 42, 45 and 35 more.
