Questions

What BPM is SPACE ROCK?

113 BPM, in 3/4, 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 SPACE ROCK hard to play on drums?

48 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 4 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

425 bars, about 11:17 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 137 exercises over 35 sittings, about 27 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, 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 ROCK?

37 fills to learn, played 124 times: bars 5, 6, 32, 36, 37, 38 and 118 more.
