Questions

What BPM is SOLE?

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 SOLE hard to play on drums?

59 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 34 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

122 bars, about 3:22 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 48 exercises over 14 sittings, about 26 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 SOLE?

10 fills to learn, played 19 times: bars 7, 8, 16, 24, 31, 32 and 13 more.
