Questions

What BPM is White Room?

110 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 White Room hard to play on drums?

66 out of 100: demanding, mostly on how fine the subdivision is. The beat itself is 20 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

131 bars, about 5:01 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 39 exercises over 12 sittings, about 26 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, 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 White Room?

5 fills to learn, played 8 times: bars 25, 51, 85, 112, 114, 116 and 2 more.
