Questions

What BPM is I Wanna Be Yours?

67 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth notes. Slow enough to hear every mistake, which is why the room lets you sit at the written tempo rather than under it.

Is I Wanna Be Yours hard to play on drums?

32 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 13 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

49 bars, about 2:56 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 7 exercises over 2 sittings, about 26 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, hi-hat, snare and kick. Nothing in the part asks for anything else.
