Questions

What BPM is Strawberry Wine?

62 BPM, in 3/4, with the time kept in thirty-second notes. Slow enough to hear every mistake, which is why the room lets you sit at the written tempo rather than under it.

Is Strawberry Wine hard to play on drums?

41 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with the independence between the hands and the feet the part that decides it. The beat itself is 12 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

98 bars, about 4:45 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 21 exercises over 5 sittings, about 27 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, 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 Strawberry Wine?

10 fills to learn, played 16 times: bars 20, 38, 50, 64, 68, 76 and 10 more.
