Questions

What BPM is wiener?

90 BPM, in 6/4, 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 wiener hard to play on drums?

72 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 49 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

115 bars, about 7:25 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 50 exercises over 20 sittings, about 23 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 wiener?

15 fills to learn, played 18 times: bars 20, 33, 34, 52, 60, 64 and 12 more.
