Questions

What BPM is Human Nature?

90 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth 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 Human Nature hard to play on drums?

27 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with how often it moves around the kit the part that decides it. The beat itself is 18 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

67 bars, about 2:59 at the written tempo. The course takes it in a single sitting of 3 exercises.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom and floor tom. That is most of a full kit; the part moves around it rather than sitting in one place.
