Questions

What BPM is Have You Heard?

160 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 Have You Heard hard to play on drums?

74 out of 100: demanding, mostly on how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 58 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

212 bars, about 5:54 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 38 exercises over 20 sittings, about 21 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 Have You Heard?

8 fills to learn, played 52 times: bars 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 46 more.
