Questions

What BPM is Nothing To Say?

138 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 Nothing To Say hard to play on drums?

80 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 78 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

219 bars, about 6:21 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 63 exercises over 25 sittings, about 22 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 Nothing To Say?

14 fills to learn, played 43 times: bars 5, 17, 33, 34, 38, 42 and 37 more.
