Questions

What BPM is 7 Years?

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 7 Years hard to play on drums?

37 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with the independence between the hands and the feet the part that decides it. The beat itself is 18 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

82 bars, about 2:44 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 10 exercises over 3 sittings, about 22 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, hi-hat, snare, 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 7 Years?

1 fill to learn, played 2 times: bars 68 and 69.
