Questions

What BPM is Girl Crush?

Is Girl Crush hard to play on drums?

23 out of 100: straightforward, and the one thing to watch is the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 11 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

44 bars, about 1:31 at the written tempo. The course takes it in a single sitting of 3 exercises.

What do I need on the kit?

hi-hat, snare and kick. Three pieces and no more -- this one is playable on almost anything with a kick, a snare and something to keep time on.
