Questions

What BPM is Recreant?

125 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 Recreant hard to play on drums?

72 out of 100: demanding, mostly on 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?

137 bars, about 4:15 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 69 exercises over 20 sittings, about 26 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 Recreant?

24 fills to learn, played 28 times: bars 4, 10, 12, 16, 24, 28 and 22 more.
