Questions

What BPM is Witchcraft?

85 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 Witchcraft hard to play on drums?

68 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 63 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

78 bars, about 3:40 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 16 exercises over 6 sittings, about 24 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 Witchcraft?

1 fill to learn, played 2 times: bars 28 and 52.
