Questions

What BPM is Behind These Hazel Eyes (Drums)?

180 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.

42 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 22 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

147 bars, about 3:15 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 44 exercises over 10 sittings, about 26 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 Behind These Hazel Eyes (Drums)?

10 fills to learn, played 12 times: bars 1, 5, 49, 87, 89, 93 and 6 more.
