Questions

What BPM is Spicy Queen?

158 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth notes. At that speed the sixteenth notes are the whole difficulty, so the room will take it down to a quarter of it and climb back.

Is Spicy Queen hard to play on drums?

65 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 42 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

153 bars, about 3:52 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 75 exercises over 20 sittings, about 28 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, 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 Spicy Queen?

23 fills to learn, played 51 times: bars 2, 4, 6, 16, 17, 18 and 45 more.
