Questions

What BPM is seasons?

61 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth notes. Slow enough to hear every mistake, which is why the room lets you sit at the written tempo rather than under it.

Is seasons hard to play on drums?

45 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 18 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

62 bars, about 4:03 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 14 exercises over 5 sittings, about 21 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, 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 seasons?

3 fills to learn, played 6 times: bars 13, 21, 33, 40, 41 and 54.
