Questions

What BPM is Waiting For The Night?

87 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 Waiting For The Night hard to play on drums?

48 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 33 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

121 bars, about 5:34 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 43 exercises over 11 sittings, about 26 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 Waiting For The Night?

13 fills to learn, played 17 times: bars 8, 9, 17, 23, 25, 41 and 11 more.
