Questions

What BPM is Nobody?

118 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 Nobody hard to play on drums?

67 out of 100: demanding, mostly on how much of it falls off the beat. The beat itself is 38 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

84 bars, about 2:52 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 27 exercises over 9 sittings, about 23 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot. That is most of a full kit; the part moves around it rather than sitting in one place.

How many fills are in Nobody?

6 fills to learn, played 11 times: bars 43, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59 and 5 more.
