Questions

What BPM is Good Luck, Babe!?

118 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 Good Luck, Babe! hard to play on drums?

53 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 30 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

100 bars, about 3:23 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 19 exercises over 5 sittings, about 30 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 Good Luck, Babe!?

3 fills to learn, played 7 times: bars 46, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66 and 1 more.
