Questions

What BPM is Hanginaround?

93 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second 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 Hanginaround hard to play on drums?

62 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how fine the subdivision is. The beat itself is 53 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

83 bars, about 3:34 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 14 exercises over 4 sittings, about 26 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom and kick. That is most of a full kit; the part moves around it rather than sitting in one place.

How many fills are in Hanginaround?

1 fill to learn, played 1 time: bar 68.
