Questions

What BPM is The Exit?

80 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second 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 Exit hard to play on drums?

55 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 45 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

53 bars, about 2:36 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 14 exercises over 5 sittings, about 24 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, 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.
