Questions

What BPM is Soon?

110 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 Soon hard to play on drums?

70 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 61 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

190 bars, about 6:55 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 6 exercises over 3 sittings, about 19 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

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