Questions

What BPM is vampire?

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

Is vampire hard to play on drums?

41 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with the independence between the hands and the feet the part that decides it. The beat itself is 35 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

83 bars, about 4:45 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 17 exercises over 5 sittings, about 25 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare and kick. Nothing in the part asks for anything else.

How many fills are in vampire?

1 fill to learn, played 2 times: bars 42 and 43.
