Questions

What BPM is my mind is a mountainㅤ?

162 BPM, in 3/4, with the time kept in sixteenth notes. At that speed the sixteenth notes are the whole difficulty, so the room will take it down to a quarter of it and climb back.

Is my mind is a mountainㅤ hard to play on drums?

41 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with the independence between the hands and the feet the part that decides it. The beat itself is 24 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

147 bars, about 2:43 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 23 exercises over 6 sittings, about 25 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, 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 my mind is a mountainㅤ?

5 fills to learn, played 11 times: bars 4, 12, 34, 50, 60, 80 and 5 more.
