Questions

What BPM is Three Nil (TSV)?

218 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth notes. At that speed the sixteenth notes are the whole difficulty, so the room will take it down to a quarter of it and climb back.

Is Three Nil (TSV) hard to play on drums?

77 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 31 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

278 bars, about 5:04 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 75 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 Nil (TSV)?

23 fills to learn, played 45 times: bars 1, 2, 34, 54, 62, 78 and 39 more.
