Questions

What BPM is Powerload?

160 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth notes. At that speed the sixteenth notes are the whole difficulty, so the room will take it down to a quarter of it and climb back.

Is Powerload hard to play on drums?

67 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 54 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

136 bars, about 3:22 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 19 exercises over 6 sittings, about 26 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, hi-hat, snare, 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 Powerload?

7 fills to learn, played 27 times: bars 17, 19, 34, 35, 49, 51 and 21 more.
