Questions

What BPM is Qwerty?

77 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second 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 Qwerty hard to play on drums?

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

How long is the drum part?

66 bars, about 3:26 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 26 exercises over 11 sittings, about 22 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, hi-hat, snare, 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 Qwerty?

5 fills to learn, played 13 times: bars 22, 25, 31, 41, 42, 43 and 7 more.
