Questions

What BPM is Plush by Stone Temple Pilots?

72 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 Plush by Stone Temple Pilots hard to play on drums?

61 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 38 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

91 bars, about 4:58 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 22 exercises over 6 sittings, about 28 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 Plush by Stone Temple Pilots?

6 fills to learn, played 23 times: bars 7, 8, 9, 16, 17, 18 and 17 more.
