Questions

What BPM is No Good?

72 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth notes. Slow enough to hear every mistake, which is why the room lets you sit at the written tempo rather than under it.

Is No Good hard to play on drums?

32 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 0 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

97 bars, about 5:20 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 28 exercises over 7 sittings, about 25 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, snare, high tom, 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 No Good?

5 fills to learn, played 6 times: bars 43, 68, 72, 77, 86 and 90.
