Questions

What BPM is Shibuya?

93 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 Shibuya hard to play on drums?

68 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 59 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

52 bars, about 2:14 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 23 exercises over 9 sittings, about 21 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 Shibuya?

7 fills to learn, played 14 times: bars 4, 14, 15, 16, 19, 20 and 8 more.
