Questions

What BPM is RPG?

135 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 RPG hard to play on drums?

44 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with the independence between the hands and the feet the part that decides it. The beat itself is 36 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

154 bars, about 4:34 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 39 exercises over 10 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 RPG?

5 fills to learn, played 9 times: bars 36, 37, 38, 39, 86, 92 and 3 more.
