Questions

What BPM is Heal Me?

115 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 Heal Me hard to play on drums?

75 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 23 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

216 bars, about 7:31 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 62 exercises over 19 sittings, about 27 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, mid tom, floor 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 Heal Me?

17 fills to learn, played 47 times: bars 16, 24, 48, 56, 57, 58 and 41 more.
