Questions

What BPM is Goodbye To Romance?

68 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth notes. Slow enough to hear every mistake, which is why the room lets you sit at the written tempo rather than under it.

Is Goodbye To Romance hard to play on drums?

47 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 21 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

96 bars, about 5:36 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 25 exercises over 7 sittings, about 27 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 Goodbye To Romance?

8 fills to learn, played 20 times: bars 7, 11, 15, 25, 29, 33 and 14 more.
