Questions

What BPM is Schizophrenic?

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 Schizophrenic hard to play on drums?

73 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 53 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

183 bars, about 7:13 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 73 exercises over 28 sittings, about 24 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, 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 Schizophrenic?

12 fills to learn, played 33 times: bars 26, 35, 42, 43, 44, 45 and 27 more.
