Questions

What BPM is Uma Thurman?

150 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 Uma Thurman hard to play on drums?

25 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 16 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

128 bars, about 3:25 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 20 exercises over 4 sittings, about 28 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, 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 Uma Thurman?

6 fills to learn, played 10 times: bars 79, 80, 84, 88, 92, 96 and 4 more.
