Questions

What BPM is My Generation?

105 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 My Generation hard to play on drums?

75 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 67 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

94 bars, about 3:35 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 36 exercises over 12 sittings, about 26 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 My Generation?

10 fills to learn, played 22 times: bars 23, 27, 31, 39, 43, 47 and 16 more.
