Questions

What BPM is Jopay?

135 BPM, in 8/4, 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 Jopay hard to play on drums?

43 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 44 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

77 bars, about 4:31 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 16 exercises over 5 sittings, about 24 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 Jopay?

3 fills to learn, played 5 times: bars 11, 12, 13, 29 and 32.
