Questions

What BPM is The Departure?

128 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 Departure hard to play on drums?

56 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 35 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

152 bars, about 4:45 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 16 exercises over 6 sittings, about 23 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, hi-hat, snare, mid 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 Departure?

6 fills to learn, played 25 times: bars 6, 10, 14, 18, 22, 26 and 19 more.
