Questions

What BPM is Sherpa v2?

180 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth notes. At that speed the sixteenth notes are the whole difficulty, so the room will take it down to a quarter of it and climb back.

Is Sherpa v2 hard to play on drums?

56 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 13 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

301 bars, about 6:48 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 77 exercises over 24 sittings, about 25 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, 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 Sherpa v2?

2 fills to learn, played 10 times: bars 79, 80, 217, 218, 219, 241 and 4 more.
