Questions

What BPM is War?

80 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 War hard to play on drums?

39 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 24 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

75 bars, about 3:45 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 15 exercises over 3 sittings, about 31 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, 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 War?

6 fills to learn, played 8 times: bars 4, 38, 48, 56, 60, 67 and 2 more.
