Questions

What BPM is Stupendo?

113 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 Stupendo hard to play on drums?

48 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 19 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

200 bars, about 7:05 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 71 exercises over 17 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 Stupendo?

21 fills to learn, played 40 times: bars 24, 32, 40, 48, 51, 52 and 34 more.
