Questions

What BPM is One Beer?

95 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 One Beer hard to play on drums?

60 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 23 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

98 bars, about 4:08 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 43 exercises over 14 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 One Beer?

8 fills to learn, played 29 times: bars 10, 11, 17, 18, 19, 20 and 23 more.
