Questions

What BPM is RSS?

100 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 RSS hard to play on drums?

92 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 42 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

468 bars, about 16:43 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 85 exercises over 33 sittings, about 24 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, 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.

How many fills are in RSS?

24 fills to learn, played 70 times: bars 96, 104, 112, 120, 123, 124 and 64 more.
