Questions

What BPM is My Way?

97 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 Way hard to play on drums?

66 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 62 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

97 bars, about 4:00 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 24 exercises over 8 sittings, about 24 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, hi-hat, snare, high 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?

6 fills to learn, played 12 times: bars 24, 33, 34, 48, 52, 56 and 6 more.
