Questions

What BPM is Love, Hate, Love?

96 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 Love, Hate, Love hard to play on drums?

54 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 28 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

159 bars, about 6:38 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 54 exercises over 16 sittings, about 24 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, 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.

How many fills are in Love, Hate, Love?

15 fills to learn, played 22 times: bars 2, 4, 6, 16, 32, 40 and 16 more.
