Questions

What BPM is Sehnsucht?

140 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 Sehnsucht hard to play on drums?

62 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 56 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

140 bars, about 4:00 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 26 exercises over 7 sittings, about 25 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, 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 Sehnsucht?

5 fills to learn, played 14 times: bars 8, 37, 38, 61, 62, 77 and 8 more.
