Questions

What BPM is Power Of Love?

119 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 Power Of Love hard to play on drums?

48 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 29 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

115 bars, about 3:52 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 18 exercises over 6 sittings, about 23 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, hi-hat, snare, 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 Power Of Love?

6 fills to learn, played 14 times: bars 1, 7, 11, 21, 29, 37 and 8 more.
