Questions

What BPM is Okno Mé Lásky?

65 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth notes. Slow enough to hear every mistake, which is why the room lets you sit at the written tempo rather than under it.

Is Okno Mé Lásky hard to play on drums?

34 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 23 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

70 bars, about 4:18 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 6 exercises over 2 sittings, about 22 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, hi-hat, 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 Okno Mé Lásky?

3 fills to learn, played 3 times: bars 5, 13 and 69.
