Questions

What BPM is Everlong by Foo Fighters?

168 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 Everlong by Foo Fighters hard to play on drums?

81 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 40 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

158 bars, about 3:46 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 33 exercises over 11 sittings, about 25 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, 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 Everlong by Foo Fighters?

9 fills to learn, played 50 times: bars 14, 21, 28, 35, 42, 49 and 44 more.
