Questions

What BPM is Praise?

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 Praise hard to play on drums?

65 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 37 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

153 bars, about 4:49 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 57 exercises over 16 sittings, about 27 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, 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 Praise?

17 fills to learn, played 31 times: bars 13, 21, 29, 30, 31, 39 and 25 more.
