Questions

What BPM is MORE THAN YOU KNOW?

87 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 MORE THAN YOU KNOW hard to play on drums?

74 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 58 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

111 bars, about 5:03 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 28 exercises over 10 sittings, about 23 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 MORE THAN YOU KNOW?

8 fills to learn, played 24 times: bars 10, 12, 15, 19, 25, 28 and 18 more.
