Questions

What BPM is Wolfpack?

80 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 Wolfpack hard to play on drums?

69 out of 100: demanding, mostly on how fine the subdivision is. The beat itself is 61 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

102 bars, about 4:56 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 25 exercises over 7 sittings, about 27 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, 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 Wolfpack?

5 fills to learn, played 16 times: bars 8, 9, 18, 19, 20, 21 and 10 more.
