Questions

What BPM is Seasons In The Sun?

90 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 Seasons In The Sun hard to play on drums?

49 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 32 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

74 bars, about 3:11 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 25 exercises over 6 sittings, about 27 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid 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 Seasons In The Sun?

7 fills to learn, played 9 times: bars 25, 38, 39, 49, 55, 61 and 3 more.
