Questions

What BPM is Three Bastards?

140 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 Three Bastards hard to play on drums?

96 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 81 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

148 bars, about 4:14 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 58 exercises over 20 sittings, about 27 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 Three Bastards?

20 fills to learn, played 70 times: bars 3, 7, 8, 9, 11, 12 and 64 more.
