Questions

What BPM is Pop 3?

134 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 Pop 3 hard to play on drums?

73 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 42 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

79 bars, about 2:35 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 28 exercises over 10 sittings, about 25 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 Pop 3?

8 fills to learn, played 23 times: bars 1, 2, 4, 6, 14, 22 and 17 more.
