Questions

What BPM is Slow Ride?

86 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 Slow Ride hard to play on drums?

64 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?

96 bars, about 4:26 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 6 exercises over 3 sittings, about 21 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 Slow Ride?

1 fill to learn, played 1 time: bar 1.
