Questions

What BPM is Jaded?

118 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 Jaded hard to play on drums?

47 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 12 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

103 bars, about 3:25 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 21 exercises over 6 sittings, about 25 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, floor 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 Jaded?

4 fills to learn, played 5 times: bars 55, 59, 90, 94 and 103.
