Questions

What BPM is Winds of Wisdom?

90 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 Winds of Wisdom hard to play on drums?

89 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how much of it falls off the beat. The beat itself is 78 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

122 bars, about 5:24 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 43 exercises over 17 sittings, about 26 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 Winds of Wisdom?

15 fills to learn, played 72 times: bars 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23 and 66 more.
