Questions

What BPM is Voices Carry?

112 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 Voices Carry hard to play on drums?

49 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?

120 bars, about 4:17 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 15 exercises over 4 sittings, about 25 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 Voices Carry?

6 fills to learn, played 7 times: bars 1, 8, 23, 51, 60, 68 and 1 more.
