Questions

What BPM is For Sure?

86 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth 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 For Sure hard to play on drums?

54 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 35 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

65 bars, about 3:01 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 9 exercises over 3 sittings, about 22 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

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