Questions

What BPM is Stone Magnet?

102 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 Stone Magnet hard to play on drums?

50 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 37 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

117 bars, about 4:31 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 18 exercises over 5 sittings, about 25 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, 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 Stone Magnet?

11 fills to learn, played 26 times: bars 9, 43, 45, 73, 75, 77 and 20 more.
