Questions

What BPM is can you hear the rain?

120 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 can you hear the rain hard to play on drums?

49 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 35 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

165 bars, about 5:30 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 44 exercises over 12 sittings, about 25 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, 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 can you hear the rain?

13 fills to learn, played 22 times: bars 16, 24, 48, 56, 72, 80 and 16 more.
