Questions

What BPM is I Don't Know Who I Am?

120 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 I Don't Know Who I Am hard to play on drums?

57 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 32 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

123 bars, about 4:06 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 45 exercises over 14 sittings, about 25 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, 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 I Don't Know Who I Am?

7 fills to learn, played 17 times: bars 11, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24 and 11 more.
