Questions

What BPM is I Won't See You Tonight Part 1?

60 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 Won't See You Tonight Part 1 hard to play on drums?

66 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 48 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

153 bars, about 9:37 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 34 exercises over 9 sittings, about 26 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 Won't See You Tonight Part 1?

3 fills to learn, played 5 times: bars 25, 33, 45, 116 and 117.
