Questions

What BPM is KICK BACK?

204 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 KICK BACK hard to play on drums?

62 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 45 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

71 bars, about 1:24 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 29 exercises over 9 sittings, about 25 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, mid tom, floor tom and kick. That is most of a full kit; the part moves around it rather than sitting in one place.

How many fills are in KICK BACK?

4 fills to learn, played 6 times: bars 24, 31, 32, 39, 40 and 71.
