Questions

What BPM is Window Facing Nowhere?

72 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth notes. Slow enough to hear every mistake, which is why the room lets you sit at the written tempo rather than under it.

Is Window Facing Nowhere hard to play on drums?

45 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 20 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

100 bars, about 5:28 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 22 exercises over 7 sittings, about 25 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, hi-hat, snare, 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 Window Facing Nowhere?

5 fills to learn, played 9 times: bars 37, 66, 70, 85, 86, 90 and 3 more.
