Questions

What BPM is San Tropez?

Is San Tropez hard to play on drums?

53 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 37 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

110 bars, about 3:48 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 15 exercises over 6 sittings, about 25 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

ride, hi-hat, snare and kick. Nothing in the part asks for anything else.
