Questions

What BPM is Unicorn?

77 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second 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 Unicorn hard to play on drums?

45 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 38 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

37 bars, about 1:55 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 6 exercises over 2 sittings, about 26 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

ride, snare and kick. Three pieces and no more -- this one is playable on almost anything with a kick, a snare and something to keep time on.
