Questions

What BPM is Let Me Go?

92 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 Let Me Go hard to play on drums?

66 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 51 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

84 bars, about 3:39 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 14 exercises over 4 sittings, about 28 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 Let Me Go?

5 fills to learn, played 17 times: bars 12, 20, 24, 28, 32, 40 and 11 more.
