Questions

What BPM is No Way...?

78 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second 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 Way... hard to play on drums?

71 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 50 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

41 bars, about 2:06 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 13 exercises over 5 sittings, about 21 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, 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 Way...?

4 fills to learn, played 10 times: bars 8, 10, 12, 14, 20, 22 and 4 more.
