Questions

What BPM is Teal?

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

120 bars, about 3:01 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 19 exercises over 5 sittings, about 26 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

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

How many fills are in Teal?

5 fills to learn, played 5 times: bars 72, 82, 88, 104 and 120.
