Questions

What BPM is Pay & Display?

149 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 Pay & Display hard to play on drums?

74 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 84 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

140 bars, about 3:46 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 41 exercises over 13 sittings, about 26 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, 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 Pay & Display?

7 fills to learn, played 22 times: bars 4, 33, 34, 35, 36, 40 and 16 more.
