Questions

What BPM is No Stranger to You…?

170 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth notes. At that speed the sixteenth notes are the whole difficulty, so the room will take it down to a quarter of it and climb back.

Is No Stranger to You… hard to play on drums?

44 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 26 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

204 bars, about 4:48 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 45 exercises over 10 sittings, about 29 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, 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 Stranger to You…?

9 fills to learn, played 19 times: bars 30, 56, 60, 72, 84, 95 and 13 more.
