Questions

What BPM is Un Jour En France?

104 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 Un Jour En France 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 29 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

89 bars, about 3:25 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 19 exercises over 6 sittings, about 24 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, 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 Un Jour En France?

7 fills to learn, played 14 times: bars 5, 17, 33, 41, 49, 57 and 8 more.
