Questions

What BPM is I For You?

95 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 For You hard to play on drums?

46 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 34 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

125 bars, about 5:16 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 37 exercises over 8 sittings, about 29 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high 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 For You?

13 fills to learn, played 21 times: bars 8, 24, 32, 40, 42, 50 and 15 more.
