Questions

What BPM is I Know What I Like?

108 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 Know What I Like 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 27 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

112 bars, about 4:08 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 29 exercises over 7 sittings, about 30 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, 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 I Know What I Like?

7 fills to learn, played 11 times: bars 9, 38, 68, 85, 86, 98 and 5 more.
