Questions

What BPM is Good Good Things?

176 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 Good Good Things hard to play on drums?

55 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 38 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

96 bars, about 2:11 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 11 exercises over 4 sittings, about 20 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, hi-hat, snare, 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 Good Good Things?

2 fills to learn, played 2 times: bars 16 and 64.
