Questions

What BPM is feel better?

Is feel better hard to play on drums?

29 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with the independence between the hands and the feet the part that decides it. The beat itself is 14 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

181 bars, about 4:07 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 24 exercises over 6 sittings, about 26 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, hi-hat, snare and kick. Nothing in the part asks for anything else.
