Questions

What BPM is Surasiu?

80 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 Surasiu hard to play on drums?

38 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 23 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

61 bars, about 3:01 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 23 exercises over 6 sittings, about 25 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, 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 Surasiu?

4 fills to learn, played 9 times: bars 46, 47, 50, 51, 55, 56 and 3 more.
