Questions

What BPM is Passion?

135 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 Passion hard to play on drums?

85 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 60 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

108 bars, about 3:07 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 47 exercises over 18 sittings, about 24 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, 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 Passion?

7 fills to learn, played 19 times: bars 27, 28, 31, 32, 36, 37 and 13 more.
