Questions

What BPM is Loser?

85 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 Loser hard to play on drums?

87 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 76 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

85 bars, about 4:00 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 5 exercises over 3 sittings, about 20 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, hi-hat, snare, high 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 Loser?

1 fill to learn, played 1 time: bar 85.
