Questions

What BPM is Travelin' Band?

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

Is Travelin' Band hard to play on drums?

62 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how fine the subdivision is. The beat itself is 50 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

88 bars, about 2:09 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 15 exercises over 5 sittings, about 25 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, 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.
