Questions

What BPM is Twist?

167 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 Twist hard to play on drums?

42 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with the independence between the hands and the feet the part that decides it. The beat itself is 25 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

34 bars, about 0:49 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 8 exercises over 3 sittings, about 23 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, hi-hat, snare, 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 Twist?

1 fill to learn, played 2 times: bars 33 and 34.
