Questions

What BPM is The New National Anthem?

80 BPM, in 3/4, 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 New National Anthem hard to play on drums?

78 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 70 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

77 bars, about 2:59 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 44 exercises over 15 sittings, about 25 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 New National Anthem?

13 fills to learn, played 18 times: bars 9, 14, 18, 22, 26, 34 and 12 more.
