Questions

What BPM is zzzzz...?

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 zzzzz... hard to play on drums?

53 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how much of it falls off the beat. The beat itself is 56 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

48 bars, about 1:38 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 13 exercises over 5 sittings, about 23 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, 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 zzzzz...?

4 fills to learn, played 17 times: bars 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 11 more.
