Questions

What BPM is Session?

98 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 Session hard to play on drums?

56 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how much of it falls off the beat. The beat itself is 44 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

59 bars, about 2:24 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 12 exercises over 4 sittings, about 28 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

ride, hi-hat, snare and hi-hat foot. Nothing in the part asks for anything else.
