Questions

What BPM is Predator?

100 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second 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 Predator hard to play on drums?

73 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 14 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

104 bars, about 4:08 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 31 exercises over 9 sittings, about 26 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 Predator?

11 fills to learn, played 15 times: bars 9, 13, 17, 18, 26, 30 and 9 more.
