Questions

What BPM is Night In Tunisia Drum?

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

68 out of 100: demanding, mostly on how much of it falls off the beat. The beat itself is 66 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

What do I need on the kit?

How many fills are in Night In Tunisia Drum?

5 fills to learn, played 7 times: bars 10, 16, 29, 30, 47, 51 and 1 more.
