Questions

What BPM is Ride The Wave?

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 Ride The Wave hard to play on drums?

47 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 28 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

107 bars, about 4:47 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 29 exercises over 8 sittings, about 24 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, 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 Ride The Wave?

4 fills to learn, played 12 times: bars 43, 47, 70, 71, 72, 73 and 6 more.
