Questions

What BPM is Brave Girls?

99 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 Brave Girls hard to play on drums?

46 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 28 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

88 bars, about 3:33 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 27 exercises over 8 sittings, about 24 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, hi-hat, 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.

How many fills are in Brave Girls?

8 fills to learn, played 10 times: bars 4, 12, 28, 35, 36, 60 and 4 more.
