Questions

What BPM is I wont tell?

165 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 wont tell hard to play on drums?

40 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 40 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

124 bars, about 3:00 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 40 exercises over 10 sittings, about 26 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, 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 wont tell?

7 fills to learn, played 13 times: bars 4, 8, 12, 44, 48, 52 and 7 more.
