Questions

What BPM is Footloose (corrected)?

174 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 Footloose (corrected) 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 42 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

162 bars, about 3:43 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 26 exercises over 7 sittings, about 25 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick. That is most of a full kit; the part moves around it rather than sitting in one place.

How many fills are in Footloose (corrected)?

1 fill to learn, played 4 times: bars 159, 160, 161 and 162.
