Questions

What BPM is Primo Victoria?

124 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 Primo Victoria hard to play on drums?

56 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 12 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

120 bars, about 4:00 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 24 exercises over 8 sittings, about 22 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, 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 Primo Victoria?

4 fills to learn, played 12 times: bars 7, 11, 37, 39, 43, 67 and 6 more.
