Questions

What BPM is Snow?

100 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 Snow hard to play on drums?

42 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with the independence between the hands and the feet the part that decides it. The beat itself is 39 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

143 bars, about 5:43 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 13 exercises over 4 sittings, about 25 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, snare, kick and hi-hat foot. Nothing in the part asks for anything else.
