Questions

What BPM is SOLD OUT?

145 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 SOLD OUT 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 28 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

108 bars, about 2:59 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 35 exercises over 9 sittings, about 27 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, hi-hat, snare, 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 SOLD OUT?

4 fills to learn, played 11 times: bars 43, 44, 48, 75, 83, 84 and 5 more.
