Questions

What BPM is One Vision?

124 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 One Vision hard to play on drums?

61 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 30 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

135 bars, about 4:21 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 45 exercises over 15 sittings, about 25 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid 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 One Vision?

5 fills to learn, played 9 times: bars 29, 57, 65, 73, 91, 95 and 3 more.
