Questions

What BPM is My Heroine?

152 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 Heroine hard to play on drums?

47 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?

133 bars, about 3:30 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 29 exercises over 8 sittings, about 25 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, mid 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 My Heroine?

5 fills to learn, played 17 times: bars 23, 24, 36, 40, 47, 48 and 11 more.
