Questions

What BPM is SWIM?

94 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 SWIM hard to play on drums?

61 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how much of it falls off the beat. The beat itself is 60 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

55 bars, about 2:19 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 5 exercises over 3 sittings, about 21 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

hi-hat, snare and kick. Three pieces and no more -- this one is playable on almost anything with a kick, a snare and something to keep time on.
