Questions

What BPM is All Fired Up?

148 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 All Fired Up hard to play on drums?

49 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 34 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

164 bars, about 4:27 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 36 exercises over 10 sittings, about 25 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 All Fired Up?

4 fills to learn, played 7 times: bars 16, 80, 124, 132, 140, 148 and 1 more.
