Questions

What BPM is Nausea?

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 Nausea hard to play on drums?

63 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 45 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

64 bars, about 2:20 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 22 exercises over 7 sittings, about 24 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, 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 Nausea?

6 fills to learn, played 16 times: bars 1, 2, 6, 12, 18, 22 and 10 more.
