Questions

What BPM is Yekteniya 5?

120 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 Yekteniya 5 hard to play on drums?

96 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 75 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

175 bars, about 5:50 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 66 exercises over 22 sittings, about 25 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 Yekteniya 5?

14 fills to learn, played 24 times: bars 20, 24, 36, 44, 48, 52 and 18 more.
