Questions

What BPM is Under The Same Sun?

76 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 Under The Same Sun 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?

72 bars, about 3:47 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 18 exercises over 4 sittings, about 30 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, 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 Under The Same Sun?

6 fills to learn, played 11 times: bars 5, 13, 26, 34, 38, 42 and 5 more.
