Questions

What BPM is Piggy?

66 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 Piggy hard to play on drums?

56 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 33 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

47 bars, about 2:51 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 8 exercises over 3 sittings, about 23 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, hi-hat, snare, kick and hi-hat foot. Nothing in the part asks for anything else.

How many fills are in Piggy?

1 fill to learn, played 1 time: bar 39.
