Questions

What BPM is Stay Home?

120 BPM, in 7/4, 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 Stay Home hard to play on drums?

57 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how fine the subdivision is. The beat itself is 69 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

141 bars, about 8:11 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 27 exercises over 9 sittings, about 25 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high 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 Stay Home?

1 fill to learn, played 1 time: bar 68.
