Questions

What BPM is Pare Ko?

150 BPM, in 8/4, 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 Pare Ko hard to play on drums?

40 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 44 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

74 bars, about 3:50 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 14 exercises over 4 sittings, about 26 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, hi-hat, snare, 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 Pare Ko?

3 fills to learn, played 5 times: bars 8, 11, 14, 15 and 32.
