Questions

What BPM is ALWAYS LET YOU DOWN?

178 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth notes. At that speed the sixteenth notes are the whole difficulty, so the room will take it down to a quarter of it and climb back.

Is ALWAYS LET YOU DOWN hard to play on drums?

48 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 21 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

132 bars, about 2:57 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 40 exercises over 11 sittings, about 25 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, hi-hat, snare, high tom, 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 ALWAYS LET YOU DOWN?

9 fills to learn, played 13 times: bars 12, 50, 52, 60, 86, 90 and 7 more.
