Questions

What BPM is Chelsea Smile?

200 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 Chelsea Smile hard to play on drums?

53 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 33 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

239 bars, about 4:46 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 64 exercises over 16 sittings, about 28 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 Chelsea Smile?

16 fills to learn, played 28 times: bars 24, 28, 36, 40, 42, 48 and 22 more.
