Questions

What BPM is Summer?

188 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth notes. At that speed the sixteenth notes are the whole difficulty, so the room will take it down to a quarter of it and climb back.

Is Summer hard to play on drums?

39 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 11 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

151 bars, about 3:13 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 15 exercises over 4 sittings, about 25 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, hi-hat, snare and kick. Nothing in the part asks for anything else.

How many fills are in Summer?

3 fills to learn, played 7 times: bars 26, 30, 48, 62, 80, 150 and 1 more.
