Questions

What BPM is i think about you all the time?

135 BPM, in 6/4, with the time kept in thirty-second 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 think about you all the time hard to play on drums?

41 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with the independence between the hands and the feet the part that decides it. The beat itself is 32 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

55 bars, about 2:27 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 10 exercises over 3 sittings, about 27 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, mid 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 think about you all the time?

1 fill to learn, played 1 time: bar 16.
