Questions

What BPM is Raise My Rent?

102 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 Raise My Rent hard to play on drums?

42 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with the independence between the hands and the feet the part that decides it. The beat itself is 26 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

140 bars, about 5:29 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 17 exercises over 5 sittings, about 24 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, 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 Raise My Rent?

9 fills to learn, played 9 times: bars 76, 80, 84, 88, 108, 116 and 3 more.
