Questions

What BPM is Qualcosa Di Grande?

90 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 Qualcosa Di Grande hard to play on drums?

47 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 31 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

97 bars, about 4:15 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 25 exercises over 6 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 Qualcosa Di Grande?

9 fills to learn, played 18 times: bars 6, 10, 14, 18, 22, 26 and 12 more.
