Questions

What BPM is Tourniquet?

102 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 Tourniquet hard to play on drums?

67 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 50 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

98 bars, about 3:51 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 22 exercises over 6 sittings, about 30 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, 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 Tourniquet?

7 fills to learn, played 19 times: bars 34, 42, 58, 66, 67, 68 and 13 more.
