Questions

What BPM is Voices?

90 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 Voices hard to play on drums?

68 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 52 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

84 bars, about 3:44 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 31 exercises over 10 sittings, about 25 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 Voices?

9 fills to learn, played 13 times: bars 13, 17, 27, 31, 35, 39 and 7 more.
