Questions

What BPM is All The Small Things?

Is All The Small Things hard to play on drums?

56 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 31 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

99 bars, about 2:41 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 25 exercises over 8 sittings, about 23 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 All The Small Things?

7 fills to learn, played 16 times: bars 17, 26, 27, 28, 29, 33 and 10 more.
