Questions

What BPM is Revolution?

153 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 Revolution hard to play on drums?

53 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 35 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

111 bars, about 2:54 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 27 exercises over 7 sittings, about 27 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 Revolution?

7 fills to learn, played 13 times: bars 8, 16, 28, 36, 44, 60 and 7 more.
