Questions

What BPM is Hear You Me?

68 BPM, in 3/4, 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 Hear You Me hard to play on drums?

16 out of 100: straightforward, and the one thing to watch is the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 1 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

104 bars, about 4:33 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 9 exercises over 2 sittings, about 30 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, hi-hat, snare, kick and hi-hat foot. Nothing in the part asks for anything else.
