Questions

What BPM is Space Road (Bass)?

76 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 Space Road (Bass) hard to play on drums?

93 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how much of it falls off the beat. The beat itself is 67 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

101 bars, about 5:15 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 36 exercises over 16 sittings, about 24 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot. That is most of a full kit; the part moves around it rather than sitting in one place.

How many fills are in Space Road (Bass)?

12 fills to learn, played 37 times: bars 13, 21, 35, 39, 44, 45 and 31 more.
