Questions

What BPM is The Seven Seas?

95 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 Seven Seas hard to play on drums?

61 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 32 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

138 bars, about 5:27 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 42 exercises over 12 sittings, about 26 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 Seven Seas?

13 fills to learn, played 31 times: bars 1, 9, 17, 25, 33, 35 and 25 more.
