Questions

What BPM is I / Me / Myself?

170 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth notes. At that speed the sixteenth notes are the whole difficulty, so the room will take it down to a quarter of it and climb back.

Is I / Me / Myself hard to play on drums?

67 out of 100: demanding, mostly on 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?

217 bars, about 4:53 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 70 exercises over 21 sittings, about 25 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 I / Me / Myself?

19 fills to learn, played 51 times: bars 20, 23, 24, 28, 32, 36 and 45 more.
