Questions

What BPM is Pawn Shop?

72 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 Pawn Shop hard to play on drums?

64 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how much of it falls off the beat. The beat itself is 53 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

105 bars, about 5:50 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 32 exercises over 10 sittings, about 26 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, hi-hat, snare, high tom, 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 Pawn Shop?

15 fills to learn, played 32 times: bars 8, 12, 15, 16, 18, 19 and 26 more.
