Questions

What BPM is Radar Love?

115 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 Radar Love hard to play on drums?

57 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 14 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

300 bars, about 10:25 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 66 exercises over 19 sittings, about 26 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, 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 Radar Love?

11 fills to learn, played 26 times: bars 48, 58, 97, 98, 107, 108 and 20 more.
