Questions

What BPM is Behind Blue Eyes?

57 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second notes. Slow enough to hear every mistake, which is why the room lets you sit at the written tempo rather than under it.

Is Behind Blue Eyes hard to play on drums?

43 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with how much of it falls off the beat the part that decides it. The beat itself is 45 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

20 bars, about 1:24 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 3 exercises over 2 sittings, about 17 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

hi-hat, snare and mid tom. Three pieces and no more -- this one is playable on almost anything with a kick, a snare and something to keep time on.
