Questions

What BPM is Care?

112 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 Care hard to play on drums?

53 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how often it moves around the kit. The beat itself is 40 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

93 bars, about 3:19 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 24 exercises over 7 sittings, about 27 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, 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 Care?

4 fills to learn, played 10 times: bars 4, 8, 28, 47, 48, 60 and 4 more.
