Questions

What BPM is Seven?

145 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 Seven hard to play on drums?

65 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 47 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

104 bars, about 2:52 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 38 exercises over 12 sittings, about 25 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, hi-hat, snare, high tom, 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 Seven?

13 fills to learn, played 29 times: bars 1, 2, 4, 9, 13, 14 and 23 more.
