Questions

What BPM is If You Want To?

120 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 If You Want To hard to play on drums?

42 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 29 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

83 bars, about 2:46 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 17 exercises over 5 sittings, about 23 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, 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 If You Want To?

1 fill to learn, played 4 times: bars 6, 8, 42 and 44.
