Questions

What BPM is Ten Over Ten?

140 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 Ten Over Ten hard to play on drums?

59 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 25 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

112 bars, about 3:12 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 41 exercises over 10 sittings, about 28 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot. That is most of a full kit; the part moves around it rather than sitting in one place.

How many fills are in Ten Over Ten?

13 fills to learn, played 16 times: bars 8, 12, 20, 32, 36, 44 and 10 more.
