Questions

What BPM is Robot Rock?

112 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 Robot Rock hard to play on drums?

68 out of 100: demanding, mostly on how much of it falls off the beat. The beat itself is 69 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

133 bars, about 4:45 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 21 exercises over 6 sittings, about 26 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, 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.
