Questions

What BPM is Turn The Page version 2?

75 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth notes. Slow enough to hear every mistake, which is why the room lets you sit at the written tempo rather than under it.

Is Turn The Page version 2 hard to play on drums?

52 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 38 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

109 bars, about 5:49 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 30 exercises over 10 sittings, about 25 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, 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 Turn The Page version 2?

13 fills to learn, played 34 times: bars 18, 20, 24, 28, 29, 33 and 28 more.
