Questions

What BPM is The March?

120 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 March hard to play on drums?

76 out of 100: demanding, mostly on how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 55 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

97 bars, about 3:14 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 34 exercises over 12 sittings, about 24 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

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

How many fills are in The March?

7 fills to learn, played 23 times: bars 13, 17, 21, 25, 41, 45 and 17 more.
