Questions

What BPM is Listen To Your Heart?

115 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second 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 Listen To Your Heart hard to play on drums?

62 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how much of it falls off the beat. The beat itself is 51 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

135 bars, about 4:42 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 18 exercises over 6 sittings, about 27 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, 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.
