Questions

What BPM is Vodka Cranberry?

96 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 Vodka Cranberry 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?

90 bars, about 3:45 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 11 exercises over 5 sittings, about 21 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot. That is most of a full kit; the part moves around it rather than sitting in one place.

How many fills are in Vodka Cranberry?

3 fills to learn, played 8 times: bars 62, 68, 72, 76, 77, 81 and 2 more.
