Questions

What BPM is Wuh?

200 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth notes. At that speed the sixteenth notes are the whole difficulty, so the room will take it down to a quarter of it and climb back.

Is Wuh hard to play on drums?

72 out of 100: demanding, mostly on how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 85 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

95 bars, about 1:54 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 37 exercises over 11 sittings, about 28 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 Wuh?

10 fills to learn, played 29 times: bars 3, 4, 7, 8, 11, 12 and 23 more.
