Questions

What BPM is Spear Of Justice?

138 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 Spear Of Justice hard to play on drums?

75 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 51 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

84 bars, about 1:50 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 31 exercises over 11 sittings, about 25 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 Spear Of Justice?

8 fills to learn, played 26 times: bars 4, 8, 12, 16, 17, 18 and 20 more.
