Questions

What BPM is PS sample?

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

Is PS sample hard to play on drums?

72 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 81 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

87 bars, about 1:46 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 30 exercises over 10 sittings, about 25 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 PS sample?

4 fills to learn, played 8 times: bars 40, 41, 42, 44, 46, 54 and 2 more.
