Questions

What BPM is Last Goodbye (album)?

88 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 Last Goodbye (album) hard to play on drums?

61 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 29 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

97 bars, about 4:23 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 23 exercises over 7 sittings, about 25 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid 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 Last Goodbye (album)?

8 fills to learn, played 10 times: bars 46, 54, 58, 68, 76, 78 and 4 more.
