Questions

What BPM is Lose Yourself?

65 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth notes. Slow enough to hear every mistake, which is why the room lets you sit at the written tempo rather than under it.

Is Lose Yourself hard to play on drums?

21 out of 100: straightforward, and the one thing to watch is how many limbs land on the same note. The beat itself is 11 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

181 bars, about 11:08 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 4 exercises over 2 sittings, about 16 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

hi-hat, snare and kick. Three pieces and no more -- this one is playable on almost anything with a kick, a snare and something to keep time on.
