Questions

What BPM is Yekteniya VI?

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 Yekteniya VI hard to play on drums?

93 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 21 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

86 bars, about 3:47 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 35 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 Yekteniya VI?

15 fills to learn, played 28 times: bars 12, 13, 17, 21, 25, 29 and 22 more.
