Questions

What BPM is Rainfall?

132 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 Rainfall 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 33 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

97 bars, about 2:56 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 46 exercises over 12 sittings, about 26 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

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

How many fills are in Rainfall?

17 fills to learn, played 26 times: bars 5, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17 and 20 more.
