Questions

What BPM is Time to Dance?

170 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 Time to Dance hard to play on drums?

62 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 34 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

142 bars, about 3:20 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 41 exercises over 13 sittings, about 26 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, hi-hat, snare, 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 Time to Dance?

5 fills to learn, played 11 times: bars 8, 44, 60, 61, 62, 70 and 5 more.
