Questions

What BPM is Product Placement?

165 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second notes. At that speed the thirty-second notes are the whole difficulty, so the room will take it down to a quarter of it and climb back.

Is Product Placement hard to play on drums?

67 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 43 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

124 bars, about 3:06 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 45 exercises over 14 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 Product Placement?

11 fills to learn, played 22 times: bars 24, 26, 36, 40, 44, 50 and 16 more.
