Questions

What BPM is School Love?

160 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second notes. At that speed the thirty-second notes are the whole difficulty, so the room will take it down to a quarter of it and climb back.

Is School Love hard to play on drums?

58 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how fine the subdivision is. The beat itself is 55 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

132 bars, about 3:15 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 44 exercises over 13 sittings, about 25 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, hi-hat, snare, 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 School Love?

7 fills to learn, played 20 times: bars 18, 19, 20, 22, 23, 50 and 14 more.
