Questions

What BPM is Negai?

109 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second 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 Negai hard to play on drums?

55 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how fine the subdivision is. The beat itself is 39 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

68 bars, about 2:29 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 33 exercises over 10 sittings, about 26 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 Negai?

6 fills to learn, played 14 times: bars 24, 25, 34, 35, 36, 37 and 8 more.
