Questions

What BPM is Lit Up?

130 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 Lit Up hard to play on drums?

59 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 39 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

106 bars, about 3:16 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 20 exercises over 8 sittings, about 23 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, 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 Lit Up?

2 fills to learn, played 5 times: bars 30, 56, 90, 94 and 106.
