Questions

What BPM is sedmaya?

107 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 sedmaya hard to play on drums?

97 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 74 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

162 bars, about 5:25 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 57 exercises over 22 sittings, about 25 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, mid 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 sedmaya?

8 fills to learn, played 15 times: bars 11, 90, 98, 99, 100, 102 and 9 more.
