Questions

What BPM is Princess?

130 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 Princess hard to play on drums?

57 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 42 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

131 bars, about 4:02 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 14 exercises over 5 sittings, about 21 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, floor tom and kick. That is most of a full kit; the part moves around it rather than sitting in one place.
