Questions

What BPM is Pennyweight?

142 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 Pennyweight hard to play on drums?

77 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 40 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

172 bars, about 4:49 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 58 exercises over 22 sittings, about 24 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 Pennyweight?

10 fills to learn, played 21 times: bars 5, 35, 36, 37, 45, 53 and 15 more.
