Questions

What BPM is ROKI?

150 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 ROKI hard to play on drums?

65 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 49 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

138 bars, about 3:43 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 47 exercises over 12 sittings, about 28 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, 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 ROKI?

12 fills to learn, played 26 times: bars 2, 3, 7, 9, 10, 11 and 20 more.
