Questions

What BPM is PHOENIX?

122 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 PHOENIX hard to play on drums?

74 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?

108 bars, about 3:32 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 41 exercises over 14 sittings, about 25 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 PHOENIX?

18 fills to learn, played 61 times: bars 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8 and 55 more.
