Questions

What BPM is The Camera Eye?

114 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 The Camera Eye hard to play on drums?

51 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 39 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

383 bars, about 13:23 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 114 exercises over 32 sittings, about 27 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, 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 The Camera Eye?

18 fills to learn, played 56 times: bars 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 53 and 50 more.
