Questions

What BPM is I Need Your Love?

140 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 Need Your Love hard to play on drums?

60 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 41 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

101 bars, about 2:53 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 20 exercises over 7 sittings, about 23 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid 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 Need Your Love?

5 fills to learn, played 15 times: bars 24, 30, 31, 32, 50, 57 and 9 more.
