Questions

What BPM is Seventh Heaven?

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 Seventh Heaven hard to play on drums?

63 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 40 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

111 bars, about 4:09 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 38 exercises over 13 sittings, about 26 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 Seventh Heaven?

11 fills to learn, played 25 times: bars 7, 11, 15, 27, 36, 37 and 19 more.
