Questions

What BPM is Open All Night?

60 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth notes. Slow enough to hear every mistake, which is why the room lets you sit at the written tempo rather than under it.

Is Open All Night hard to play on drums?

23 out of 100: straightforward, and the one thing to watch is the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 18 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

63 bars, about 4:12 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 12 exercises over 3 sittings, about 25 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

hi-hat, snare, floor tom and kick. Nothing in the part asks for anything else.
