Questions

What BPM is Stumped?

117 BPM, in 4/4, 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 Stumped hard to play on drums?

43 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 34 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

59 bars, about 2:01 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 12 exercises over 4 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 Stumped?

3 fills to learn, played 6 times: bars 19, 20, 23, 24, 34 and 52.
