Questions

What BPM is No More Tears?

100 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 No More Tears hard to play on drums?

40 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 25 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

175 bars, about 7:01 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 35 exercises over 10 sittings, about 24 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 No More Tears?

7 fills to learn, played 12 times: bars 49, 67, 71, 77, 111, 112 and 6 more.
