Questions

What BPM is Forget Not?

67 BPM, in 3/4, with the time kept in thirty-second notes. Slow enough to hear every mistake, which is why the room lets you sit at the written tempo rather than under it.

Is Forget Not hard to play on drums?

85 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how much of it falls off the beat. The beat itself is 66 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

363 bars, about 16:15 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 72 exercises over 23 sittings, about 26 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, 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 Forget Not?

28 fills to learn, played 115 times: bars 52, 63, 64, 68, 71, 72 and 109 more.
