Questions

What BPM is Hey Jealousy?

170 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 Hey Jealousy hard to play on drums?

62 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 51 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

137 bars, about 3:13 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 28 exercises over 8 sittings, about 25 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, 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 Hey Jealousy?

4 fills to learn, played 12 times: bars 1, 17, 25, 33, 49, 64 and 6 more.
