Questions

What BPM is Nachash?

119 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 Nachash hard to play on drums?

76 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 70 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

146 bars, about 4:40 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 38 exercises over 12 sittings, about 26 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, 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 Nachash?

9 fills to learn, played 25 times: bars 8, 12, 15, 16, 24, 32 and 19 more.
