Questions

What BPM is FOR YOU (ALBUM VERSION)?

165 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 FOR YOU (ALBUM VERSION) hard to play on drums?

48 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 33 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

137 bars, about 3:19 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 16 exercises over 6 sittings, about 24 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, 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 FOR YOU (ALBUM VERSION)?

3 fills to learn, played 5 times: bars 24, 39, 40, 56 and 132.
