Questions

What BPM is Pink Cadillac?

127 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 Pink Cadillac hard to play on drums?

50 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 32 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

115 bars, about 3:37 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 4 exercises over 2 sittings, about 19 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, 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 Pink Cadillac?

1 fill to learn, played 2 times: bars 114 and 115.
