Questions

What BPM is Rome?

110 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second 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 Rome hard to play on drums?

88 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 75 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

38 bars, about 1:23 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 15 exercises over 6 sittings, about 22 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 Rome?

3 fills to learn, played 7 times: bars 2, 4, 6, 8, 9, 10 and 1 more.
