Questions

What BPM is Cause We've Ended As Lovers?

44 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second notes. Slow enough to hear every mistake, which is why the room lets you sit at the written tempo rather than under it.

Is Cause We've Ended As Lovers hard to play on drums?

63 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how much of it falls off the beat. The beat itself is 33 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

79 bars, about 7:16 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 32 exercises over 10 sittings, about 27 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, 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 Cause We've Ended As Lovers?

12 fills to learn, played 26 times: bars 1, 2, 3, 17, 18, 19 and 20 more.
