Questions

What BPM is Red Red Wine?

89 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 Red Red Wine hard to play on drums?

60 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how often it moves around the kit. The beat itself is 39 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

68 bars, about 3:03 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 6 exercises over 3 sittings, about 19 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, hi-hat, snare, high tom, 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 Red Red Wine?

2 fills to learn, played 3 times: bars 27, 47 and 59.
