Questions

What BPM is Real Love Baby?

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 Real Love Baby hard to play on drums?

32 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with how many notes a second it asks for the part that decides it. The beat itself is 22 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

86 bars, about 3:22 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 5 exercises over 2 sittings, about 26 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, 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.
