Questions

What BPM is CREEP U?

90 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second 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 CREEP U hard to play on drums?

53 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how fine the subdivision is. The beat itself is 48 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

74 bars, about 3:16 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 16 exercises over 5 sittings, about 21 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, hi-hat, snare, 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.
