Questions

What BPM is Get Ready (Short Version)?

132 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 Get Ready (Short Version) hard to play on drums?

33 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 10 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

96 bars, about 2:55 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 14 exercises over 4 sittings, about 29 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, 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.
