Questions

What BPM is My Way Home Is Through You?

208 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth notes. At that speed the sixteenth notes are the whole difficulty, so the room will take it down to a quarter of it and climb back.

Is My Way Home Is Through You hard to play on drums?

61 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 43 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

148 bars, about 2:50 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 45 exercises over 12 sittings, about 30 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 Way Home Is Through You?

10 fills to learn, played 22 times: bars 6, 45, 46, 78, 80, 81 and 16 more.
