Questions

What BPM is Girl?

97 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 Girl hard to play on drums?

37 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 18 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

61 bars, about 2:31 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 13 exercises over 4 sittings, about 23 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

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