Questions

What BPM is ZERO?

127 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 ZERO hard to play on drums?

72 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 80 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

114 bars, about 3:35 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 43 exercises over 15 sittings, about 25 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, hi-hat, snare, 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 ZERO?

12 fills to learn, played 18 times: bars 5, 9, 12, 15, 21, 38 and 12 more.
