Questions

What BPM is Burn Baby Burn?

156 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.

Is Burn Baby Burn hard to play on drums?

54 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 39 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

130 bars, about 3:20 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 29 exercises over 8 sittings, about 25 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, hi-hat, snare, 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 Burn Baby Burn?

6 fills to learn, played 17 times: bars 8, 32, 36, 40, 44, 48 and 11 more.
