Questions

What BPM is Premonition?

117 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 Premonition hard to play on drums?

86 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 56 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

152 bars, about 5:12 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 58 exercises over 24 sittings, about 24 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 Premonition?

16 fills to learn, played 20 times: bars 12, 16, 28, 36, 38, 39 and 14 more.
