Questions

What BPM is Snow Globes?

114 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 Snow Globes hard to play on drums?

47 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how fine the subdivision is. The beat itself is 45 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

144 bars, about 5:03 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 24 exercises over 9 sittings, about 24 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, 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 Snow Globes?

5 fills to learn, played 21 times: bars 8, 9, 10, 11, 14, 15 and 15 more.
