Questions

What BPM is Mindlock?

134 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 Mindlock hard to play on drums?

49 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 30 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

161 bars, about 4:48 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 34 exercises over 12 sittings, about 24 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, hi-hat, snare, 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 Mindlock?

7 fills to learn, played 16 times: bars 1, 17, 37, 38, 45, 46 and 10 more.
