Questions

What BPM is Point To Point?

120 BPM, in 5/4, 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 Point To Point hard to play on drums?

57 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 57 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

29 bars, about 1:06 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 5 exercises over 2 sittings, about 25 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid 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 Point To Point?

1 fill to learn, played 6 times: bars 16, 17, 18, 23, 24 and 25.
