Questions

What BPM is Its Bob?

90 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 Its Bob 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 33 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

36 bars, about 1:36 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 3 exercises over 2 sittings, about 16 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

ride, snare and kick. Three pieces and no more -- this one is playable on almost anything with a kick, a snare and something to keep time on.
