Questions

What BPM is Never Call Again?

142 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 Never Call Again hard to play on drums?

37 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with the independence between the hands and the feet the part that decides it. The beat itself is 15 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

98 bars, about 2:46 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 27 exercises over 7 sittings, about 26 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, mid tom, floor 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 Never Call Again?

5 fills to learn, played 8 times: bars 17, 25, 37, 61, 69, 80 and 2 more.
