Questions

What BPM is Red Socks Pugie?

155 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth notes. At that speed the sixteenth notes are the whole difficulty, so the room will take it down to a quarter of it and climb back.

Is Red Socks Pugie hard to play on drums?

50 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?

192 bars, about 4:46 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 24 exercises over 7 sittings, about 23 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, 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 Socks Pugie?

1 fill to learn, played 2 times: bars 111 and 112.
