Questions

What BPM is No One?

90 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 One hard to play on drums?

24 out of 100: straightforward, and the one thing to watch is the independence between the hands and the feet.

How long is the drum part?

88 bars, about 3:55 at the written tempo. The course takes it in a single sitting of 1 exercise.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, snare and kick. Three pieces and no more -- this one is playable on almost anything with a kick, a snare and something to keep time on.
