Questions

What BPM is Hooker With A Penis?

91 BPM, in 3/4, 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 Hooker With A Penis hard to play on drums?

87 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 64 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

130 bars, about 4:31 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 61 exercises over 25 sittings, about 24 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 Hooker With A Penis?

9 fills to learn, played 23 times: bars 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 22 and 17 more.
