Questions

What BPM is Lost Boys?

128 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 Lost Boys hard to play on drums?

41 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with the independence between the hands and the feet the part that decides it. The beat itself is 32 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

130 bars, about 4:04 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 17 exercises over 5 sittings, about 24 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, hi-hat, snare, mid tom, 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 Lost Boys?

2 fills to learn, played 6 times: bars 86, 87, 88, 89, 90 and 117.
