Questions

What BPM is Are We The Waiting?

112 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 Are We The Waiting 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 23 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

76 bars, about 2:43 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 6 exercises over 2 sittings, about 24 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, 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.
