Questions

What BPM is Bring It On Home?

175 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second notes. At that speed the thirty-second notes are the whole difficulty, so the room will take it down to a quarter of it and climb back.

Is Bring It On Home hard to play on drums?

81 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 76 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

55 bars, about 1:17 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 23 exercises over 8 sittings, about 27 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, hi-hat, snare, 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 Bring It On Home?

7 fills to learn, played 12 times: bars 11, 12, 13, 14, 21, 23 and 6 more.
