Questions

What BPM is Pesto?

112 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 Pesto hard to play on drums?

72 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 0 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

78 bars, about 2:47 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 40 exercises over 14 sittings, about 24 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, 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 Pesto?

12 fills to learn, played 22 times: bars 6, 7, 8, 9, 12, 13 and 16 more.
