Questions

What BPM is utangaç?

72 BPM, in 3/4, with the time kept in thirty-second notes. Slow enough to hear every mistake, which is why the room lets you sit at the written tempo rather than under it.

Is utangaç hard to play on drums?

58 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 42 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

138 bars, about 5:05 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 36 exercises over 10 sittings, about 27 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, 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 utangaç?

14 fills to learn, played 38 times: bars 13, 15, 17, 20, 21, 23 and 32 more.
