Questions

What BPM is 7 Things?

110 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth 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 7 Things hard to play on drums?

45 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 13 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

89 bars, about 3:14 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 18 exercises over 5 sittings, about 25 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, 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 7 Things?

5 fills to learn, played 10 times: bars 20, 24, 28, 46, 50, 54 and 4 more.
