Questions

What BPM is Umbrella?

175 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 Umbrella hard to play on drums?

46 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 25 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

163 bars, about 3:44 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 28 exercises over 7 sittings, about 27 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, hi-hat, snare, 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 Umbrella?

7 fills to learn, played 25 times: bars 18, 26, 34, 42, 50, 66 and 19 more.
