Questions

What BPM is Maybe Maybe?

90 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 Maybe Maybe hard to play on drums?

52 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 36 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

78 bars, about 3:27 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 15 exercises over 4 sittings, about 29 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, 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 Maybe Maybe?

5 fills to learn, played 9 times: bars 1, 25, 29, 45, 61, 65 and 3 more.
