Questions

What BPM is Baby Blue?

91 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 Baby Blue hard to play on drums?

51 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how much of it falls off the beat. The beat itself is 23 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

138 bars, about 6:04 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 13 exercises over 4 sittings, about 27 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom and kick. That is most of a full kit; the part moves around it rather than sitting in one place.
